I want to paint the writing on my saiga and other guns. What paint and technique do you guys use? Can I use nail polish?

China marker

I used nail polish and crayon at different occasions.

But, I found lacquer-stick permanent or long-term. The earlier is not durable and subject to peeling during cleaning or rough handling.

yes that will work..

yes that will work..

 

I sure hope my daughter don't see this thread, she will want all of the guns she shoot customized..

some use testor paint (for models) and toothpicks..

I use the dupli-color paint pen. It's made for cars, I painted my front sight cobalt Orange 3 months ago and it works great. You can order just about any color also.

So do you guys just paint over the lettering and wipe off?

I melted crayons to color in my fire sections on my AR. If it is on a place that doesn't get too hot it works great and takes all of 30 seconds to do, and you can remove it if you ever want to.

 

I tried a few different paints, and it wouldn't stick, it kept flaking off, and i didnt want to use anything permanent.

Hobby Model paint works really well, its how I did my AR.

Perfect! Thanx.

you got it

Wow, the stock paint on these saiga's is terrible. Lightly rubbed it with alcohol and the black paint rubbed right off. Now Im contemplating painting the whole gun!

Ohh boy. Good luck and post picks.

Will do. I didnt like the nail polish so I ordered some testors enamel.

wont that stand out more and make your position potentially known..

Depends on the color you choose! lol. But yeah, once u start coloring in the engravings, the who purpose is to brighten up the gun.
