Filling in logo with paint?
I remember a how to that dealt with filling in a Glock logo with paint. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I had it bookmarked but must've deleted it somehow. A friend had questions and I always wanted it on hand in case I decided to try it.
Thanks!

It's pretty easy with a bit of practice and a light touch.
This is how I do it, and as there's more than one way to skin a cat... YMMV.
Too much acetone and it will "flood" out the rollmark. Too little and it will smear instead of remove the excess. If the toweling is too course or fibery, it will dig paint from the rollmark. If you screw it up, flood it, remove the enamel and start over. Once done, allow to dry overnight. Yellow enamel filled H&K P9S .45 Target.

When I had my gunshop I touched up all used gun traded in to me with Oxpho Blue and gold painted the stampings. This really dressed up the guns, got me a better price and they sold rapidly.
My products came from Brownell's. The touch-up and painting only took a few minutes. It is not a permanent look, wears off quickly. |

Creeper thanks for the tutorial. I dunno if I can work up the nerve to do that... I might test the waters using something less permanent like whiteout. :P
So when you say enamel do u nail polish or is ur a specialty sorta thing?

The only things that can make doing it more difficult are if the rollmarks are really shallow, or have been over-struck, which causes the metal edges of the rollmark to displace up above the flat surface. I don't think Glock has too many issues in those regards. Quote:
Not a clue on nail polish... but something tells me it's not designed to last. C
