I've never seen those things before. Hmmmm.

Base with yellow, orange on top.

F2S - are you using the fine or medium tip?

Thanks!

Yellow is extra fine, unintentionally (was in the same slot as the "fine" and I grabbed the only unopened one without verifying the tip), but it isn't bad.
The Orange is fine tipped.

I'm not saying that they are the bestest, just what I used.

Faliure,

Any tips for painting the non-serrated sights? I have no problem painting my heinies but every time I try to paint the factory night sight on my m&p I have to fight off a strong desire to club a baby seal. The paint from the sharpie paint pens (same as in your picture) get everywhere including over the tritium.

Thanks for any tips

Serpico,

I use these:

They make painting the front site easy as pie if you're using model paint etc. I'll shoot a photo of my front site when I get home.

I found them locally at a Hobby Lobby.

Except for the little drop right at 12:00 it's nearly perfect. The microbrushes make it really easy.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.

BOM,

I will give that a try. Those applicators look like the ticket. Thanks.

Very nice!! I was going to recommend the most obnoxious orange finger nail polish but I'm going to try your method next.

I first lay a base coat of white Liquid Paper, and then use Testor's Neon Green gloss model paint. It's been a good combination for me.

Best, Jon
