I love it. How do you go about doing something like that?

 

[bgseth7454]

its actually pretty easy, i used nail polish but many people use a crayon and you just fill in the stamped part of the slide....here is the video that gave me the idea to do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ELHbFyxio in this video he does a glock mag but its the same process as doing the slide

There is a thread on here dedicated the subject. Look for "Soviet's color fill" thread. It has video links as well. Very informative.

Also Soviet's method last longer as well. I use to use a wax pencil but his way is the way to go!!

It does. I did mine with paint marker and it is tough.

Try Krylon pens instead of Elmers they are more vibrant and tougher than elmers if you are heavy handed like me. Plus Krylon makes a ton of colors that you try. I have a duo tone fill of white and green on my Glock 20c.

Where did you get the Krylon pens at? I haven't been able to find the Elmers, maybe I can find the Krylon ones.
