Painting Gun Sights With Nail Polish

Its difficult to get a decent sight picture at my local range which is pretty dimly lit. My eaa windicator 38 special has plain black sights. Use some vasaline to hold the bead in place look down the bbl.

I use a lot of acetone aka nail polish remover or brake parts cleaner and it will blow cheap paint or nail polish right off.

Painting gun sights with nail polish. Ive used good white nail polish on my carry gun for years. So i painted the front ramp with orange nail polish. I do 4 coats of nail polish with plenty of drying time between coats. And see what your eye likes.

Also do this in a variety of lighting situations then when you find the color you can go and buy that color in nail polish good nail polish. And on some of my glocks ive used glow on over the parts which are glock white which makes the sights super bright in the day time and if you lay the gun under a table lamp for an hour they glow brightly all night. Likewise youll want to use a shade that will show up well in low light so bright white alpine white is good and other bright colors are good. You can use it just like nail polish as in you apply a coat of paint to the front sight and let it dry.

Course my solution these days is fiber optic or tritium inserted sights. Ive used white out before but it doesnt hold up much better.
