While perusing various mods I found a thread on the XD forum about painting in gun engraving and decided to give it a try. Basically you use fingernail polish, let it dry and them wipe off the excess with non-acetone polish remover. The white worked like a charm - the red was a bit more of a pain - worked okay on the S&W, but the engraving isn't as deep on the XDm and it didn't take at all - had to switch to all white (I might try going with red model paint instead if I do this again). But it came out pretty good. I'm not going to do this to my 1911, but definitely the AR. Note - pictures are blurry because of the camera phone - lines are much crisper than they appear.
