I did what I was told

[rivitir]

So you guys said just paint my front sight. So I did. Looks brighter and whiter then it originally did. And it performs great. I sent over 200 rounds down range today. No issues.

Yeah, for some reason I can't upload pics. So I created a picasa album for it.

So, which paint did you use?

I used a white liquid eraser on one of my guns, years ago.
The sights still look like I did it yesterday.
I think nail polish words too, you dont need something fancy.

I color all the sights on my pistols, green on the front and red on the rear. The contrast really helps and the green is easier tp pick up. I use Colt sight paint and it works great.

Glad you got your sights working. Gotta love it when the frugal solution works out perfectly.

I used Testors model paint from my local model hobby store.

Hrm... I'll have to try that some time.

I've been wanting to do something to my XDm lately, this may be what ill do! Can some of you that regularly paint your sights post some pics as well? I just want to see what the colors look like together.

I am red green color blind. It would all blend in for me!

Yeah but it would still line up.

Using some fishing jig head paints work really well. They are a really hard drying enamel that will take a good beating. And they are in a billion colors.
