Color fill

[Firefight]

I want a AR lower color filled but have no idea who to take it to.

Do it your self. Go to a hobby shop, find their model aisle, pick your color from the Testors paint rack. De-grease your lower, thin paint if necessary and fill with a toothpick dabbed in the paint. Its actually pretty easy. Check out youtube also.

Sounds easy enough

This is the method I used also. Easier than you think. Get the thinner to thin the paint and also to clean up color from areas you don't want.

^Testor's paint^

I used a very fine sable brush and used the thinner and q-tips for cleanup.

I need to take better pics, but here's my color fill using Testor's.

The Glock guys use crayon IIRC...

Lacquer stick, made for just this purpose.

I'm a little curious why you guys suggest Testor paint as opposed to a water based paint.

I've used Tamiya model pint I had sitting around and also the hobby paint my son was using for his Warcraft figurines. Both work fine and cleanup is much easier...to say nothing of fixing mistakes while it is still wet

For me, Testors seems to be a little more forgiving when inadvertently hit with gun cleaner.

Water based paint will come off if you get it wet.

Logic is strong in this one, no seriously. He is wise and I agree. I just don't understand all the tongue lashing about color fill. I mean it can be overdone like anything else but if done tastefully why not

Lots of YouTube vids on this using various methods.

Seems to me that the crayon technique is the easiest to implement and the easiest to change should you decide.

YMMV

Take it to your jeweler and get it gold plated like a boss.
