    Gun Sight Paint

    I bought a Ruger EC9s the other day. This is the cheaper version of the LC9s. One of the features that makes it less expensive is the fixed sights. I was planning to use a white paint marker to give the sights some contrast. I thought that I'd reach out to the community for recommendations first. Is there a product that I should use that works better than a standard paint pen?

    Thanks!

    If you just want white then "white out" it seems to be slighty iridescent

    Thanks, I guess that I'm looking for something durable. It seems that whiteout might be easily removed. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    This. Testors has a fluorescent kit. Make sure you clean all the oil off of the sight. And.....make sure you use primer under your color. The fluorescent colors need a white base under the paint. Get and use white primer.
    Good Shooting, MOOSE
