Very simple on deep, narrow engravings: I use acylic paint and simply gently scrape off excess while the paint has begun to set, but is still a little soft) with fingernails or a piece of wood. On wider, stamped-in markings such as those found on the R-series or M4-2, a fine brush and a steady hand are called for. I've been doing this sort of thing for so long, that I guess it's sort of routine for me. - --------------------------------------------------- Specializing in interesting, quality junk.
