    I never liked how you can see the sharpie markings. It gives off a slight browinsh tint. I had a lower that I bought that was beat up and I just took it to my local cerakote guy and he re did it fresh black for $30. Worth it.

    That slight brownish tint always gets in the way when I'm running my weapon...

    I use the black paint pens for small dings.If I have alot of bright metal showing I use the flat black stove paint to cover the area,particularly the steel components.

    High temp BBQ grill spray paint seems to work OK if you want to keep them black.

    I only spray rifles and carbines when I want to change the color.

    I really don't focus on that. Half my regular AR stash is painted (that's why God made Krylon) and the others I don't worry much about.

    scratch fixed, if don't match rattle...rattle and spray again.
    why paint because I can. Dark colors suck in the southern sunshine.
    I'll worry when rifle has as many scars as I do.

    I use dirt. Nothing gets that FDE color like flat dark earth. Yup black marker, I also have a furniture touch up pen for dark oak and what not, it works pretty good, but the scratches are also kinda sexy so I kinda let them show. Chicks dig them and so does the M4 population.
