What is the best method for whiting out the numbers and writing on firearms? I have seen a few with done and I think it dresses the gun up nice. Any input would be great.

Colter,
I like to use White Crayola Crayon.You gob it on,then rub with an old t-shirt.The letters are filled in,but not permanantly.You can remove the Crayon with a toothbrush.For permanent use I use white model paint,and wipe with a paint thinner wetted Paper towel.HTH,
Ryan
White "Lacquer Stik". Rub it on/into the lettering and wipe off excess with a cloth wetted with mineral oil. Really easy.
I use a grease pencil. Rub the pencil into the numbering/lettering and wipe down with denatured alcohol.

I used a B Paintstick Marker by Markal. Takes well and cleans up with MS. I like it because it has a 'antique' off white shade to it, more character then bright white, IMHO.
Thanks fro the input guys, I will try it a post pics when done. I am most interested to see how it turns out on my 1927a1.

Brownell sells a kit that you can do white, gold or silver. I've used them to get a contrast on factory engraved pieces and it really makes them stand out. Colt came out with some commeratives that are hard to see with out the contrast. And the white makes the serial numbers really show up when you take pics for insurance purposes.

I use white "Rub N' Buff" on my M1, and the same in gold leaf on my other rifles. Just dab it on the lettering with a Q-tip, let it dry, and wipe the excess off. Stays put, and doesn't seem to be affected by oil or solvents.
