I usually go over the testors with a couple passes of clear nail polish, seems to help it stay bright, and protect it.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

My brothers wife came across "gun sights paint"and gave me a package of it, assorted colors. It's a multi color pack that I've tried a few colors of. Just about any color is an improvement, will have to try white color as a primer coat then one of the colors as a second coat. Haven't gotten front sight bright enough yet.
