- I try a different technique for painting the sights on a Glock Pistol and give you some thoughts on the product I use. Have you painted your sights? If so Leave a comment below.
I used Bright Sights: brightsights.co...

On my Ruger sp101 I used white nail polish first then a second and third coat of bright orange !! It really helped these old eyes to pick up that front sight quickly !!
Yes, the white backing really helps the colors to stand out, I think I 'll give the nail polish a try next, thank you.
Cover the paint with clear nail polish. I used Glow-On.
I saw some video's using Testors florescent orange enamel paint $2.50 then used some clear finger nail polish. Did a pistol, 4 lever guns with brass beads, and a coach gun. Really pops.
It’s better if you use a toothpick to apply. Also, if you’re keeping that white without adding new, it would be best to at least expose the base so the paint can I hear better. Then get to two part clear from Brownell’s. Or find another clear like spray, paint, clear or nail polish, clear, nail polish will not last very long, but the longest lasting is the one from Brownell’s.
I used testors and didn't like it. Takes to long to dry. 1 mistake i made is i tried to clean out the site color that was there before painting. Won't do that again. Will paint over what's already there next time. Trying finger nail polish next. I did use clear polish over the testors but it is shiny. Don't know how that will work out.
Try painting them white first and then applying your color, that helped out hillbillydan4721, comments below.
@KevinKipper yes, I did do that also. But the testors takes awhile to dry, I shouldn't have cleaned out the original white from the factory and these sites were plastic. Thanks
