seems like the crayon *might* melt off, but the nail polish *might* ghost. Anyone experience the opposite (ghosting w/ crayon and melting w/ nail polish)?

Ive been meaning to take time to fill the engravings in for a while - i think seeing this thread pop up again might just be the impetus i needed!
Apparently you haven't...
If you are smart enough to post in Latin,
Then you are smart enough to thoroughly read 20+ pages.

There is a lot of info in there Bro.

I got a little ghosting but I'm still working!

Edit: Well, I am finished, it took a bit to get the ghosting out, and I kinda dimmed the writing, but I'm gonna do some more just make me happy. I am just wondering, what about doing the engraving on the barrel, yes or no?

yup REread the thread in its entirety.... still not seeing (what id call)a clear consensus.
However as either will work i suppose ill just try one or the other of the two options i originally settled on (as id already ruled out the paint and lacquer stick) and see how it turns out

Thanks for this thread!

I just got an XD for Valentines Day and now I was able to personalize it just a bit and make it more girly!

Nice BabySpice. I know I'm going to get made fun of but I love it! Did you go the crayon route? I was thinking of doing like a hot pink on mine, or maybe a neon orange. I love cheesy neon 80's colors. Congrats on your new pistol as well!
