Today I experimented on my 10/22 receiver with less than desirable results, the anodizing had a crinkle type finish which caused the model paint to bleed.
The silver write any where pen wasn't much better & didn't give you a whole lot of time to wipe excess away, it also smeared if you did try to wipe any excess away. The China Doll pen turned out to be a grease pencil that came in 3 colors. (red,blue & yellow) less than desirable for a retro receiver. 
So what are you guys using & how do you keep the bleeding of product to a minimum? |

Quoted:
I use a #000 brush with Testors enamel model paint. slightly thinned. Takes a steady hand and practice. if I get over-run I wait for it to set 80% or so and scrape/peel with an exacto. Model Master ACRYL~ Flat Gull Gray Microbrush~ superfine I may try the Wally World application. |

Currently nothing I own has filled engraving, I just remember seeing a pony with some mottled paint in the roll mark & really liked it.
Hence my attempt at filling in the SN & Manufacturer on my 10/22 before doing a lower. I'm thinking the lower should be easier than the pea shooter, the anodizing is of a higher quality than the 10/22 & shouldn't bleed as much. |
