    Finish Touchup

    I got a couple of blemished BCM lowers the other day and would like to touch them up. I know a Sharpie would do a cosmetic job but what is a better answer? No, I'm not going to send it out to a refinisher.

    Bye the way, they are about as bad as one day at the range maybe (if you were careful, but oops) or maybe a screwdriver of punch barely slipped.

    Thanks,

    Hal Selvey

    If you really need it black, a sharpie, Testor's model paint and I've heard perma-blue might work.

    My choice is to leave it as is or get some ultra-flat Krylon and rattle can a quick camo coat on it.

    If you want it to look factory new and in safe queen condition, you might have no other option than sending it to a refinisher. If not, try the Birchwood Casey flat black pen or glossy black to achieve the finish you desire. I have touched up a few "work" guns that had some scratches on it. It did not affect the functionality of the weapon but it bothered me enough to do something about it. I didn't want a perfect finish, just a touch-up and that is exactly what these pens are for. Check them out and good luck.

    After my nephew attempted to sharpen my LMT on a concrete shooting bench,I started using Krylon stove black and it worked verywell.Ive since moved to using the Krylon camo earth tones....much easier to color match nowadays.

    Brownells has a spray on teflon-moly coating that you bake on in your oven at 250 deg. F. for 30 minutes - Good Stuff !

    All the aluminum black does is color the bare metal. The teflon-moly is a thermoset coating that is very durable and comes in several colors. GeezerD
