I do it to everything I have that isn't tritium or fiber optic. Love it.
I use Birchwood Casey sight markers. All blacked-out rears using this one, and then a bright orange front one using these ones. To get the color to pop, I do 2 base coats of white then 2-3 coats of color.
Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/YezKTm7
Comes off extremely easily with acetone (nail polish remover) if you want to experiment with colors. You can get into detail work and dots with a toothpick if that floats your boat.
I've tried the glow in the dark sight paint as well, and it works really well as long as the bad guy times his attack within 15-20 minutes of your painted sights being exposed to a bright light to charge it up. It's a novelty product, not a useful one.
Me too. Obviously it’s all personal preference and taste. I can’t stand the three-dot sight picture but most people love it.
If you want to do some experimentation with colors and setups on the cheap, check out the Birchwood Casey sight markers... two base coats of white, then three coats of the orange or green (or more white). Examples here, here (left) and here. You can use the flat black marker on the rears if that's your style. Add dots with a toothpick and the white ink if that floats your boat. Very wear-resistant but it comes off easily with acetone (nail polish remover) and a q-tip so you can tinker around with different variations.
