I think most people paint-fill the engraving themselves.

Youtube has several videos on this....

I used a red polish, but it looks copper color on the slide. Very cool.

The M&P22 has white painted-on roll marks. If you see a new gun with white lettering, chances are it's a 22.

Be sure to use non acetone polish remover. I believe the regular stuff may harm the finish on the slide. I did mine with metallic silver polish, and it looks great.

They say it's not permanent. It will wear away eventually and need to be redone.

By using the nail polish, you can either remove or change color much easier than other solutions.

If you just want to "try it on" you can use a grease pencil or china marker. Just rub it in and wipe off the excess. If you don't like it or you want to use a lacquer stick or paint you can easily remove it with a tooth pick and some heat.
