Personalizing/Decorating your service guns.

Maybe it's just me, but I can never seem to just leave my service guns alone. By this I mean I usually am painting them to a small degree. For examples, on a Ruger Mkll I owned I put black paint into the warning label on the barrel, and also in the serial number, and red into the "Ruger" on the side of the receiver. I did the same to my SR, putting red in the "Red"hawk part. On my Buckmark Target I added gold paint to the browning logo in the grip panels. Just seems to add a little distinctive touch to the guns. I plan on putting gold into the lettering on my new Taurs 85 .38 snubbie. Mind you I would never do this to a collectible gun such as a Win Model 12, or to an extrememly fine rifle like a Weatherby. Just to the guns I shoot on a regular basis. I've never seen any other used guns done up this way at any of the shows I've attended, and the one I did sell the buyer didn't seem to mind at all. Does/has anybody here do this as well?
