Use tape instead.

get the little 3m pull out plastic tabs, all kinds of colors available, ya can write on the tabs.. pretty cheap

If you want a paint that will be truly solvent resistant, you’re looking at the Duracoat process, which can be a it involved and expensive. It would probably be cheaper to simply buy a cheap engraving tool or engraving tip for a Dremel at a local hardware store.

Great idea. Here’s what I’d do:

Gold - Self-defence JHP’s, +P’s, etc.
Silver - Standard JHP’s
White - FMJ’s
Black or Khaki - Target rounds, non FMJ.

What are the floorplates made of? Metal or plastic? There are special paints made for plastics. But as NoLibZone said, why not use colored tape instead?

I used acrylic enamel (used for folk art - Walmart or Hobby Lobby will have it - at Walmart it’s in the arts/crafts, not paint section) on my 2-round en-bloc clip for my Garand to separate it from all the 8-rounders. The paint has stayed on for more than 2 years, several competitions, and has not flaked. It is in the grooves on the clip, and the high points I just let rub off.

permanent marker or tape

Fingernail polish or model airplane paint. Find some on sale in luscious colors. Might as well be stylish. Who’s goin’ to laugh, you’ve got a gun?

Be sure to degrease where the paint touches.

I like this painting of a magazine.

Finger nail polish

I once had someone put stickers over all of the naughty bits in a Playboy magazine they gave me as a gag gift when I was "under age".

(Thankfully they did miss one naught bit, though!)

[caveat emptor]

Try some epoxy paint

Multicolored paper dot stickers from Staples. You can remove or replace as needed

Don’t know if it would work, but I’ve used fingernail polish on front sights with good luck. I think somebody even makes paint for sights.

Paint your clips.

Take less time....

[Vendome]

If I were going to paint the plates of my mags I'd go with the paint that I used on the sights of a few guns. It does not come off and is nice and glows nice and bright. Not for OpSec:

[Vendome]

I would think if you use the sight paint I posted they’ll be pretty bright given the surface you are covering.

I paid $25.00 about four years at Target Masters in Milpitas.

[Vendome]

lastly, you can order specific colors. I believe if you order individual they were something like $5-7 bucks.

Great idea.
