    This is the reason I use crayons on my stuff. Plus you can get 128 colors for that $5 investment.

    That is true, but I also found I could rub the color out without any extra help other then my fingers. Looks good, but just didn't last for me. Might be right for some though :yesway:



    And Doug,
    I mean that would make sense as to why it removed it. Which is another reason I do not use quick scrub, I've heard horror stories with polymer frames as well. But thanks for the heads up :yesway:

    There won't be a gun out there with out this now... lol I can't wait for my XD40SC so I can do this as well.
    YES there will be at least 2 Glocks out there without this mod but to each his own..:dunno: Just call me a fan of the "understated" look.
    Always good to see pics of someone personalizing their pistols and getting in touch with their feminine side. :D Just joking guys.

    good job! I did the white crayon method with my AR reciever and it turned out pretty good. I have heard people say that the handgun barrels get pretty hot and melt the crayon off over time, but so far the AR reciever has been fine. It looks like a factory job. Let us know how the nail polish holds up!

    You gave me something to do today. however i had no luck finding olive drab fingernail polish. Who would have thought it is not a popular color.

    Marketing news flash: Management at Walmart is puzzled by a recent surge in sales of ammo along with nail polish and crayons.


    :laugh: i can only imagine

    That turned out really nice. I recently did this too, except I used Testor's model paint. I picked up a bottle of red paint and a bottle of the paint thinner for a grand total of $3.90.

    Yeah, I bought the brightest red I could find on the "buy 2, get 1 free" sale at CVS, but it is kind of hard to see. maybe some neon orange would be good :)

    My glock seriously looks like it's been carried daily since it was new in July of 1994. I doubt any pretty lettering is going to make it look any less sad, beat up, and utterly reliable :)

    Now thats the way guns are supposed to look...it gives them a little character and a certain toughness you dont have with a shiney new gun! You ever wonder if your oldest guns could talk, what kind of stories they would tell? :dunno:

    I did this to both my Glock and my Steyr...

    The Steyr's finish is a little more "rough", as compared to the Glock.

    Where I rubbed the excess polish off, on both pistols, though, there's still a light white "smudge" where I couldn't get it completely off.

    Perhaps the difference was in using paper towel as opposed to the cotton pads?
