Saw a thread about the Crayola crayon trick and decided to try it out. She might not be as pretty as a Block but she is looking better now.

Very Nice, I think it looks terrific!

mmiller40 · 03-26-2008, 08:09 PM

I guess I should not have taken the pic on top of the coolaid spot

GURR · 03-26-2008, 08:23 PM

Looks nice

What's the trick with the trick?

BDZ71 · 03-26-2008, 08:26 PM

Looks great. I want to do that to mine also.

I wonder if somethign like "whiteout" would work and be a little more permanent?

Tripledigitride · 03-26-2008, 08:26 PM

Yea, it looks really nice, but won't crayon rub off?

Well it is recessed. You would have to scrub it out with something fuzzy like towel.

A more permanent option is fingernail polish. You spread it on and let it semi dry. Then you wipe it with acetone and a rag. There are some threads on glocktalk about it. I thought the acetone would hurt the plastic( polymer) but I have been assure gun cleaner contains acetone PLUS some more hardcore cleaners.

Haha, are you suggesting I took pics at the crime scene? Ketchup would have worked better.

I have been doing the same thing for years on all of my guns. If it starts to chip and fall out just color it in again. Mine get re-done about every 6 months or so.
Most of them are white. My Bushmaster is done in LIME GREEN glow in the dark.
