    I decided to try to do my own color fill. I used paint to do the fill. Let me know what you think. My next project to color fill will be my M&P and my AR-15.

    I did pretty much the same thing with usiing 91% isopropyl alcohol to remove the extra. The paint I used is just standard acrylic hobby paint. It was very easy to do and did not take much time at all.

    I will post more pictures after cleaning the gun several times. Like you I did not want to have to reaply the color after cleaning that is why I went with paint. I will let you know how it holds up.

    The picture isn't showing up for me?

    EDIT: My bad, something wrong on my end.

    Maui - This is after repeated cleaning's (Hoppe's #9, and other solvents so far), I didn't use hobby paint, just crayons. So far so good. If that paint holds up better, I may give that a go on my next fill.
