FDE.
This like the reciever that I have bought from PSA and doing a two tone black/FDE look...aside from the safe being a white color and the fire being a red color, what color should I make the rest of the stamping?
FDE.
Plan on doing this over the holiday. Went to hobby Lobby and picked up testers model paint sticks and saw on youtube to use latex gloves to keep your skin oils off the metal and clean with both non-acetone nail polish remover and isopropyl rubbing alcohol using gun patches. Need to apply at least two coats.
Need to use non-acetone nail polish remover.Does nail polisher remover and rubbing alcohol ruin the black finish on the reciever?
I was thinking about having the main logo in FDE and the letter/serial number below in white...but trying to find an FDE testors paint...
On my Glock, I use a white crayon to color over the writing, then buff over it with a cloth to rub off what isnt in the channels.
Ive seen the same thing done with nail polish. you paint over the lines with the polish, then when dry, you rub over it with acetone based remover and remove what isnt in the grooves.
I like the crayon best... its not very durable, but easy to fix. and I would think if I ever wanted to go back to all black would be easier to remove than paint.
I think the durability of my crayon colorfill would be the least of my worries in a combat environment.I did crayon, as well, on my M&P 15-22 years ago. It still looks great, and its been out in the hot sun at the range a number of times. Of course, it has never seen combat, so I can't speak to its durability in harsh environments. Only hot environments.
