I decided to make my AR more cosmetically pleasing (to me at any rate) by painting the lower receiver of my PSA Middy.
The Supplies:
Testor's Thinner
Testor's Flat Red
Testor's Flat White
Toothpicks
CLP and patches
All I did was pour a bit of paint and mix with a few drops of thinner. I then filled in the rollmarks using the toothpicks and wiped off the excess using a clean patch. After letting the paint dry overnight, I then used a small amount of CLP on a patch and cleaned up the areas using a wax-on type method.
For a first attempt, I think my lower looks pretty sharp.
