DevsAdvocate 112 Posted November 5, 2012 What do you guys use? My RIA Tactical has a black front blade and black rear making it tough to focus on the front. I could replace it, but painting is cheaper and easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiker88 22 Posted November 5, 2012 I use a red/orange acrylic paint for some of my pistols. They hold up pretty well. I borrowed mine from the art supplies of my daughter. You can get them in tubes from AC Moore or other art supply shops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted November 5, 2012 Arts and craft stores have paint pens. I got one in bright orange at the Michaels in Middletown. Eventually it wears off, but it is always easy to re-apply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted November 5, 2012 I used some model paint on the sights on my 1911. Been a few months and is still looking good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW9racer 262 Posted November 5, 2012 Bright orange nail polish. The high gloss holds up great and really collects the light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJSigfan 218 Posted November 6, 2012 Can someone pt a picnof their painted sites? I was about to switch out my sites on browning, but this idea sounds way better than dropping 150 bucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
