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.

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.

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.

I used some model paint on the sights on my 1911. Been a few months and is still looking good.

Bright orange nail polish. The high gloss holds up great and really collects the light.

I use a paint pen for vehicles. I like the metalic orange dodge uses. It has held up about a year now no complaints. Cheap snd its easy to use

+1. This is what I used for my Taurus Revolver. It works great.

Anyone ever try the "tritium/glow-in-the-dark" paint, like Glow-On or Bright Sights?

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

 

When I bought this gun used the previous owner must have blacked out all the sights. I just used a tooth pick and model paint. I do want to get some low profile

Thank you

Paint from hoddy shop. Bright orange in the front and bright green the rear. Luminus on both dots. Then clear coat everything
