Default Best way to touch up lower receiver

Hi everyone,

I noticed on my lower there are these little tiny specs that look like the finish is flaking off.

What is the best way to touch this up? It really annoys me looking at it. Any small touch up pens anybody recommends?

If you think that’s bad you should see the marks on your shell deflector lol what’s that thing ever dropped on carpet???

In all seriousness Birchwood Casey Aluma hide. You can get it in a pan or a little brush on thing hit it with a micro torch after you cover the spots

You will never find a perfect match.
Anything you "paint" on there will look different than the base finish and the lower will look worse than it does now.

Have the outside of the receiver sandblasted and cerakoted so the whole receiver matches itself.
