Man, I'm so conflicted with whether or not I want to color-fill my G19. Maybe I'll compromise and just start with the mags...

mags are a good place to start, good practice.
just be careful of the crayon shavings (frequently blow them away from work surface)
and if you don't like it it's as easy as removing with a toothpick and cleaning slide like normal...

Enamel modeler paint is very easy to work with, holds up well enough, and is easy to clean off with some Hoppes and a tooth brush. In fact it does come off whenever I scrub the slide with some Hoppes, but I can easily have it reapplied in 5 minutes and dry within 20. You'd be surprised just little of a deal it can be. Certainly not worth any length of "mulling over".

Is that slide Tungsten colored (which looks awesome if it is) is it just the lighting?

Nice job with the lettering though. What technique did you use?

 

[CWELLS1313]

I used just plain white nail polish 5 mins glock 22 and 3 mags

 

[Uglyducky]

Looks great! How long will the lettering last?

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

from my own personal experience: crayola crayon is easier to use, less messy, lasts longer, and is easier to remove.
Also: generic crayons do not work as well as quality crayola brand

How did you apply the nail polish? I love the color contrast with white lettering.

 

[Uglyducky]

i've heard the nail polish thing but never the crayon thing. that is pretty cool
