Just a little patience
I use 91% alcohol to degrease. Allow time to dry. I do not use mechanical drying devices such as hair dryers or heat guns. Paint takes at minimum 24 hrs to dry. I use both a long wooden pick and a small artist brush with the bristles cut off about half and at an angle. I put one coat of flat base white paint on first.Give ample time to dry. Apply first coat of orange. Wait 24 hrs and apply second coat of orange. After this dries apply a coat of clear finger nail polish. Job is finished.

Works fine for recessed dot sights
Works great for filling in the dots on three dot sights.

Bright Sights - Good Stuff
I have used this product on the front and rear sights on a CZ75B and a 1911 Colt. I like orange the best because its highly visible; much brighter than the S&W revolver red ramp. Cleaning the sight with acetone before painting the sight makes the paint adhere much better. I use it on my carry pistol and when the paint becomes a bit worn I just remove the paint with acetone and then repaint. The paint isn't supposed to glow in the dark but thats not a problem with me because I practice in low light and am able to use plain black sights well only if a bit more slowly. If you want your sight to glow then get a tritium type sight.
