color filling

[Kirk Freeman]

I'm not sure how it could possibly decrease the value when it takes literally five minutes to clean it off if you don't like it. It's not like you're engraving it.

Brilliant!!

Generally speaking, purely aesthetic modifications are a matter of personal preference, so performing them with the intent to sell may well narrow the market. I.E, polishing the barrel on a glock may make it more difficult to sell and actually reduce the value.

Color fill is such a trivial and easy to do/undo mod that it will likely have zero effect on value.

P.S. another earth-shattering thread by professor killshot.

It does. Here's mine from my link above:

That's my gun!!
Here's my writeup on how to do it on the cheap:

I have always been told that it will if anything decrease the value. That being said it didn't stop me from pulling out some enamel model paint and toying around with an 870 this past weekend painting the recessed lettering. It is practice for my M&P. It will be painted shortly after i get it this weekend most likely. My issue has been trying to track down some stencils I can use for the bottom of my mags.

I found a plastic stencil with numbers on it at Hobby Lobby. I am going to use that to number my mags. Of I may media blast the numbers on using the same stencil.

I should have been more specific. I am looking for a Marine Eagle,globe,anchor small enough to fit on my M&P9 mags
