TMA-1... great screen name!

I looked at those paints and wasn't sure about them. Thanks!

big fan of orange after trying several others. I also like to coat with a clear afterwards and after each cleaning. the cleaner tends to take off the top coat.

I like bright orange or bright red on just the front sight; I use a tooth pick to put just a tiny drop on there so my old eyes can pick it up then I do my level best to get proper sight alignment and sight picture. I also do the clear coat thing afterwards too.

I just painted my beretta bobcat 21A with a wet shine pink, put several colors on a sheet and this seemed to be the brightest?

Sorry, I meant the front sight is what I painted.

Holy nine year old thread batman!!!

I've painted the front sight on a couple of milsurp rifles in the past bright fluorescent pink.

I went with two tone on one of my GP100s. Works very well for my eyes
Cheap nail polish from Target.

OK, I've decided to paint the three dot sights on my Beretta 92. I'm going to go with Testor's model paint. What I'd like to ask you guys is what colors do you recommend? Orange/Green/Orange is what I've been thinking.

Any suggestions?

White under color for sure. I always do 2 btight white rear and fluorescent yellow front just what my eyes like
