    I do the arsenal marks on my CommBloc weapons.
    Otherwise, not a fan.

    *I use crayon

        I'm not a fan of color filling but I do like what you did to your Browning.
        One step further: It now needs a customary Browning gold trigger to really set it off!
        Those beautiful checkered double diamond wood grips go well with the overall package.
        I'm glad you didn't color fill the serial number.

          Like a lot of decoration, none or just a little goes a long way and it can very easily be over done and make something tacky and banal in my opinion: I feel that same way about tattoos.

          I've never done it (or tattoos for that matter), but if I did, I'd not do it to pistols making them look like a gussied up safe queen. I'd just do the fire control markings on my ARs in red & white and that would be it.

                    What would John Moses Browning do?



                    = nope.

                    but it's America, so you should be free to paint whatever you own.

                        More or less...

                        Unless you're chalking proof marks on a collectible C&R of course...

                            I've got the same lower, painted in the same colors! I did the calguns below too but yeah, red star, brown bear, green grass...same. Twins!

                            Color fill definitely isn't for everybody and although I like it with most things even I have color filled a gun and immediately decided I didn't like it and removed it. Easy enough to go back and forth with it, usually I think it adds to the look.

                              That's kinda artsy & kinda cool.

                              When I think "color fill" I'm thinkin' more like a kid with a crayon coloring in the rollmarks on a Glock...
