Um... I actually had to ask someone in target where the hair dryers are. Needless to say, here are the fruits of my colorfill labor adventures:

I'm putting together my [third] lower on thursday while helping two friends build their first lowers.

How does it look?

The biggest tip I can give from what I just learned is to get the area you're adding color to just hot enough to melt the crayon on it's own. Once it starts to liquify, you can put the hair dryer down and pass the crayon over the warm area in circles. Then pass over the area with an unused paper towel to wipe away the excess, again in circles. :thumbsup:

Paper towel do you use it wet any solvents or dry rub?

Like good ribs, dry rub. Works great while the metal is still warm.

Ar1b3nz · Feb 11, 2012

Nice work, I think i have to do the to the Spider on my Spikes Lowers also.

MauiWowie · Feb 12, 2012

Maybe I'll try this with my spider too.

BradMacc82 · Feb 12, 2012

Now where's the crayons?, that looks great! Looks like I'll be giving it a shot as well.

You said fruits, and bought a hairdresser hahaha. If that AR didn't look awesome, id question your sexuality sir.

VWTurbo · Feb 12, 2012

Looks great. Your gonna love that upper once you start burning through 50 round mags though, gets pricey feeding it.
