Something I figured doing to establish who owns what mags (PMAGS) the next time I go out shooting with my friends... So being stuck here with crayons.. I went to work [Coffee]

Tried experimenting with different colors... It was getting to colorful so I stuck to the red before it was to late [ROFL1]
Thats cool, I just wish I had some crayons laying around. Ive seen people do that to their lowers, but never to pmags.

Yeah that really is cool, how'd you do it?

5 things:
1) Patience (most important)
2) Crayola Crayons
3) Lighter
4) Remington oil spray can
5) dry rag
1) I start off by rubbing the crayon on which ends up flaking and barely sticks. Just try filling the spots your trying to fill in.
2)Take a lighter and melt it and watch how it tries to spread itself. You'll eventually see that there are voids that still filling.
3) Take the same crayon and run it on the hot or warm surface, and you'll see the voids fill in quicker and easier. Run the lighter's flame on it again as you did the first time and watch it melt into engraved crevice.
4) Let it cool for 3 to 5 minutes and shoot a small amount of Rem Oil right on it and rub off the excess with the rag. Spray another shoot of Rem Oil to get rid of the residue.
This is where the patience comes in... If you rub off a little to much just repeat the same processes 3 and 4... but you'll need to reheat the spot that needs more filling in.
Hope this helps a little... enjoy [Beer]
Whew.... for a minute I thought you were going to show some pages you had done in a Dora the Explorer coloring book. [ROFL1]
That is a good way to identify things at a glance... for instance, I would put tracer rounds in the ones with the red crayon, green tip rounds could be marked with green crayons, etc. [Awesom]
You can fill in the little Magpul logos on your furniture if you want also. A little red in the logo on the MOE trigger guard is a nice touch in my opinion.
Thats a cool way to do it!!
Sure beats model paint!
But if i was coloring somthing that was plastic I would heat the crayon first-with my luck I'd melt what i was trying to color in[Bang]

nice work
Would you mind cleaning it all off, then doing it again, and putting the video up on Youtube or ExpertVillage?

It's 2011 and you don't have a camera or anything? You're not the Geico Caveman are you? [LOL]
That looks cool, I might just have to do that- now to purchase Crayons, ha, that's something I haven't done in a while.

Yeah... always thought about buying a GP Pro camera for my motorcycle racing and then I had that big ass crash last year and said forget the camera and started building the bike up again for more racing, and now I bought these other toys... [Kick1] now I got all these mouths to feed [Coffee]
It's not hard... the worse that can happen is running out of that crayon color [ROFL1] Enjoy [Beer]
Those look real good.
How well does it stand up to oil and cleaning fluids?

Its wax that is melted and cured in the crevices ... so I guess it'll hold well enough, but not like enamel I think... I used REM oil to help remove some unwanted crayon material out side of the crevices and I would say it will hold up to a certain amount of pressure applied on rubbing with a lot of rubbing and brushing.
I've only done in home field testing dropping a full loaded PMAG chest high (6ft tall) on the floor a few times and it hasn't chipped yet... [ROFL1][Beer]

That looks cool and it came out really good. I've got two little girls (ages 1 & 4) and have plenty of crayons in the house. I'll have to attempt this soon!

Some trial and error... make a mistake just fill in and rub off... ooh and try to avoid keeping the flame on the spots to long [Beer]
Looks like this guy got a little bored with crayons too...

I think maybe your boredom was a little more productive. [Coffee]
