Touch Up Paint - Removed Bayonet Lug

[dragline45]

Can anyone recommend a good touch up paint to match a parkerized front sight base where I removed the bayonet lug? I tried one of those Birchwood Casey flat black pens and it is absolute garbage. I am thinking I might just tape off the gun and hit the bare spot where I removed the bayonet lug with flat black krylon.

High heat black spray paint will do fine

I would blue it. I tried high temperature black flat paint on my bayonet lug but it wasn't too durable.

I just use a little Oxpho-Blue.

hobby stores offer the widest range of colors if you want to match it close. the enamels are pretty tough....
I turned a2 sight into low pro gas block and just blued the bare metal ......think I had blue wonder on hand...then I just stopped looking at it. When I do find myself not liking how it looks.... I repeat to myself. Buy ammo no more parts.

Agreed. I built a swiveling bench top mount for my 1919A4 from used car parts and Rustoleum flat black high temp grill paint matched the parkerized finish PERFECTLY!

This is the kind of stuff that I used when I lopped off the 'ears' on my bayo lug. Instead of masking and spraying, I sprayed a little puddle onto a paper plate then used a toothpick to apply. Works well when you only have very small areas to touch up.

I used this when I cut off my bayo lug on my barrel: http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...3-oz-super-blue-sku167008200-24770-11060.aspx

Worked great.

Unless I'm miss reading this, none of the ideas so far are going to help. You said it is parkerized, correct? Parkerizing is gray, everything mentioned so far is either blue or black.
The closest match that I have found is Brownell's alumahyde in dark parkerizing gray. Make sure you get the dark park. They also sell just plain parkerizing gray, but I found that to be too light in color.

For what it's worth, this was done with Oxpho-Blue:
