Front sight paint

[BrokenolMarine]

I use White Out.

I started with that. Didn't last. Flaked off.

I've had good luck with the model paint lasting, but I don't carry the guns on duty, just shoot them. My edc guns have xs sights. Although, the mini 14 does ride around in a scabbard in the utv, but it has wings for protection.

I had looked into Testors. It was $2 more than the paint pen and figured I would be more likely to use a paint pen for other things than a bottle of paint.

That's cool. Each of us uses what works.

Testors from Hobby Lobby works for me. I just choose to use the fluorescent green although I do have some orange to

Haven't tried the green, they didnt have any last time we were in. I'll look for it. Post a pic if you get a chance. I'd like to see how it looks in use.

Here you go BOM. I first hit the sight with the white paint then after it drys good I use a couple coats of green. I like the green better.

That stands out

Green seems to catch my eyes alot better. Ive used that green on all of my guns and Ive only got one gun that has a red dot sight on it. I buy green dot reflex sights for rifles and pistols.

I was having difficulty picking up the front sight on my H001. I removed the hood and put some of the Testor's florescent orange paint on the sight post. I left the hood off. It made a big difference. I am able to pick up the sights more quickly now.

Good idea on leaving the hood off.

I usually go over the testors with a couple passes of clear nail polish, seems to help it stay bright, and protect it.

My brothers wife came across "gun sights paint"and gave me a package of it, assorted colors. It's a multi color pack that I've tried a few colors of. Just about any color is an improvement, will have to try white color as a primer coat then one of the colors as a second coat. Haven't gotten front sight bright enough yet.

often i find the issue is soft edges on sights. besides a brass bead, I like front sight black. It helps clean up the lines on sights. You can do it with a lighter, but this works also.

Nail polish works well and can be found in a multitude of colors. I've used black on pan head screws to look better on a couple projects I've done. Works very well.
