Front sight paint

Nail polish works pretty good and there are an almost unlimited number colors to choose from. Clean the surface first with acetone or gun scrubber to remove any oil. A couple coats of clear nail polish over the color of your choice will make it last much longer.

I just use a little dab of White-Out.

There is a great thread on here about specialized glow paint for gun sights.

Birchwood Casey SUPER BRIGHT Touch-up Sight Pens.

I used this on my stainless GP100. If you apply the white paint as a base, then follow it with the red paint, it creates a bright orange. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures.

Thanks! I've been looking for something to do with with on my 1911 I will soon have, those pens are perfect.

Like Mr.510 I use nail polish. Easy on and easy off.

Construction Marking Paint, it is a nice flat DayGlo orange, it will not give you false edges like a shiny paint will.

I have used a bright red china marker. They also come in white. Works well, and lasted a long time.

Rubbed it on until the lines on the sight were completely covered.

I bought a bottle of cheapo bright white nail polish from walmart. Its on the GI front site of my 1911 and the front sight of my revolvers. It helps my old eyes something fierce.

+1 for nail polish. Seems to stay on better than all those expensive gun sight paints.

Model airplane paint from the craft store

This is not an endorsement; I have not taken any of these courses yet, just thinking about it.

They're talking about painting the whole sight, not putting a white dot on it....

Enamel model airplane paint. I use either white or a base coat of white with orange on top of that. White Testor's paint markers work very well.

Clean with carb cleaner. Use a couple of coats of white lacquer. Finally a coat of dayglo orange semigloss. The lobster fishermen use it to paint the bouys with around these parts and it stays on well. To remove soak in lacquer thinner or more carb cleaner. Also helps to etch a U or square notch just inside notch of rear site and fill with white lacquer. All mine are done this way.

Model Paint

+1 for the Testor's Model Paint in fluorescent colors. Beats the dedicated sight paint pens.

Degrease sight blade wth rubbing alcohol. Add a dab of white out. Dab of acryllic craft paint in neon red. Have used orange highlighter too.
