Bored with crayons ☺

[islandermyk]

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

Tried experimenting with different colors... It was getting to colorful so I stuck to the red before it was to late

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

Whew.... for a minute I thought you were going to show some pages you had done in a Dora the Explorer coloring book.

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.

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.

That looks really clean!

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

There you go... different ammo types, different color... dang... gotta strip one or 2 of these

I've done it on my BAD LEVER color red... well on everything else I could find.
