    Blue pen equivalent

    So AR's are my first entry into firearms that have aluminum alloy. I'm used to using a blue pen for temporary touch ups on steel.

    Is the a functional equivalent for touching up scratches on anodized aluminum alloy?

    You will drive yourself nuts trying to chase down all the little nicks with the paint pen.
    The only reason to do it would be to keep the gun looking good for photo shoots...
    Shoot it, learn it but don't worry about the dings they won't keep it from working.
