Got the Browning back from the gunsmith today finally. They got the fixed rear site on. The rear site that came from Brownells didn't have any white paint on it!!! It had the two slots, but no paint! What should I paint it with? I was thinking model paint, and if so what kind is recommended? Do they make a special durable site paint? I dont' want anything glow in the dark, just white or maybe some other color, but I'm thinking white.

Go to the nearest hobby shop and pick up some Flourescent Model Paint.
Its fairly resistant to solvents and cleaners. Testor's makes a small set off 5-6 colors that can be mixed and matched.
Mix up the color of your choice and have at it. (Cap the bottles tightly, and you'll have a lifetime supply.)
I've found that I like a mix of white, green and yellow, which gives a bright green that is easy to see in all but the darkest situations (when only night sights would work better.)
