Filling in the trademarks

[TheShizzNizz]

ok then i want to fill in the trade marks on my tokyo marui gun in white as they are not filled in : (

would this work?

get some tipex and colour in all over it then wipe it and hopefully it would stay in the dents?

i dont know :P im asking you ; ) have any of you guys done it?

what methods did you use?

thanks

Re: Filling in the trademarks

im not sure if tipex is the right thing to use,but i have used white enamel paint from halfords,you can also use the little modelling paint by humbro or similar,just paint it on with a cotton bud,wait for it to dry and use a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover perferably with alchohol to remove any excess

Re: Filling in the trademarks

you could do an enamal wash?
its a technique used in modelling where you get you paint and thin it down a bit with either white spirit or emamel thinner. when the solution is thin you paint the trademarks with a paint brush.
the paint should run into the indents.
i havent tried it but i do it on my models so im assuming it may work on airsoft trades.

Re: Filling in the trademarks

Ive used humbrol enamel paint on my guns to make the trades more obvious. Easy enough to use, paint the trades with white (what I used) and use a cotton bud or tissue to wipe off the excess.

Re: Filling in the trademarks

I used tipex (pen )on this one matey and really does the job. fill the area you want to cover then wipe off in about 5 secs rub really well, i went over it a couple of times as well.

Re: Filling in the trademarks

My opinion, you should leave the ones on the handguard as they were, the others look good but all the L85's I ever signed out of an armoury had the paint on the trades worn down big time.

Re: Filling in the trademarks

Hi guys i only did this as an eg, so you could see how it looks with tip-ex, i also did my m4 and mp5 a4 in this way and they look s**t hot. humbrol enamal paint also works well but i have never had a problem with wet weather. it it scratches out just recoat.... mark
