I got bored, I painted my lower.

Materials:

• Red nail polish
  
• White nail polish
  
• Nail polish remover
  
• Cotton balls
  

Basically I raided my girlfriends beauty kit and had a blast. Have a little more clean up to do otherwise I am happy with the results. It took a little patience to get the white off because it has a habit of smearing if you use too much. I freaked out when I went to clean it on the first pass because I thought I ruined the coating. Did some research and realized anodized coatings on this lower are like next to impossible to ruin.

I like it, definitely trying this with my lower this week. Hope my girl doesn't mind.

Looks really nice, I think I read somewhere that a lot of people use toothpicks to paint it.

NICE. Question. Nail polish seems quite temporary like it will come off with a simple wipe down or two. is there possibly a more permanent simple way to paint it the same colors? IDEAS?

did you use acetone free nial polish remover? i just did this to my g19 and they say the acetone can screw up the finish on your gun. i cant imagine what the girl at cvs thought when i was at her register at 10pm with white nail polish rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover lol

i've been meaning to do this. ordered the laquer sticks that are intended for doing this. Ive got 6 red and 6 white. PM me if you'd like to buy one of each, and we can work something out.

If you scuff up the area you want to paint with 1000-1500 grit sand paper the paint will stick allot better. The scratches give the paint something to bite onto. This will ensure that after some time the paint will not start to flake off.
