Turned out pretty cool. I know it won't be for everybody but hey, I like it.
I have a buddy of mine that did that with white crayon. It's a pretty cool look.
I want one in Dago Orange for my revolver front sight.
Dago Orange?
Well, kinda, but not exactly a crayon...
I also have the red one. I'm going to use them to do the bullet pictograms on a lower selector.

Professional gunsmiths use these Industrial grade lacquer paint sticks to fill in the stamped lettering on both blued and stainless steel guns for an easy custom look.
Whether you want to individualize a pistol slide or a fine rife barrel, now it is super easy. Just rub this wax-like paint into any recessed logo, lettering or serial number and then use a paper towel wrapped straight edge to wipe the excess off. It's that simple! Made with pride in the USA.
Red and black look great on stainless or nickel plated guns. White, yellow, and red are also great for highlighting the caliber marking on the back of Glock magazines to prevent confusion between the very similar 9mm, .40, or .357 mags.
This listing is for ONE new paint stick in your choice of: WHITE, RED, YELLOW , or BLACK.
I keep all these colors in stock, but unless another color is requested, I will ship the most popular - WHITE paint.
Please let me know if you wish another color.
Using a paint stick to highlight lettering on a slide:
For best results, just rub it into the letters and then use a paper towel wrapped straight edge to wipe the excess off. (If you wipe using a rough rag, or without using a support, you can dig the paint back out of the letters.) Let it set-up a while, then apply a second coat to completely fill the lettering. Wipe the excess as before, then wait for the lacquer paint to set-up again. Finally, wipe the surface of the gun totally clean with a paper towel having a couple drops of gun oil on it. It is that easy!
Once totally hard, the paint will stand up to normal cleaning for years. I used this product on a G26 five years ago and it still looks great. If you ever want to remove the paint: soak with gun or mineral oil to soften the lacquer and use a wooden toothpick or soft nylon brush to scrub the paint out from the lettering. It will come totally clean with no damage at all to your pistol's finish.
This is a picture on my Smith&Wesson mode 15 that I inlayed with aproduct called Metal Marker about 35 years ago. The gun has not been used very often but recently it usually follows me to the range and consumes about 24 rounds a trip
