Painted my Glock lettering.

After watching a few YouTube videos I decided to try painting the lettering on my Glocks. I think they turned out pretty good. (Better than the cell phone picture).

Nice collection!

Yours turned out better than mine! What was your process? Any tips? Tricks?

Very sharp.

I cleaned it with alcohol first then coverd it with cheap nail polish. After it dried (about 15 min.) I wiped off the excess with paper towel and non acetone polish remover.

Looks good. The white really pops out. I know coloring the slide doesn't increase value but it sure looks nice if done right.

Hey, nice job! Thanks for sharing. . Maybe I should give it a try

I used a white crayon, like filling in the dice from the old Dungeons & Dragons red box. Same result, probably less durable.

Cool, but i shoot and clean my weapons on a regular basis and not worth it on mine.

Are you saying it would fall off/chip off too quickly to do it in the first place or that you just don't see a use for it?

Looks good

Those turned out nice! I use finger nail polish on some of my golf clubs lettering/numbers too. It is more durable than what you would think.

Looks great. I recently did my XDM with "Loopy Lime" polish.

Nice work, have done the same with my 27 and 36. Didn't realize they made the 26 in the US.

 

[Yup!]

I've done the mags as well.

Sharp looking even if only for a few thousand rounds between cleanings...hehe

What do you use to do that?

I did the slide of my G19 in orange. It took about 8 applications until I got it fully filled in. I would not recommend getting the cheapest polish you can find. That's what I did and it was pretty thin and watery. I couldn't really get the etching on the barrel to fill in at all, despite applying multiple coats.

Get the thick stuff and give it to your wife or gf when done.

Please tell me you are referring to the nail polish and not the gun. My EDC is mine. Lol

I used Hard As Nails. Not runny and filled in well.

Sharp!
