Best Paint for firearms sights?

[exphys2010]

Does anyone have any advice on what the best type of paint is for touching up sights? I have a few handguns that have the paint on their sights fading away to the point where it is hard to see them while at the range. I was hoping for something on the bright side (red, orange, green, etc..) that would help with quick target acquisition. I have heard some people swear by Bright Sights paint, but then I have also heard some pretty bad reviews. I have also heard that nail polish works quite well. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There was a fairly involved thread on this last week or the week before, with many recommendations. Give the search function a shot; try "sight paint."

Best color is black.

Don't believe me? Watch this:

Short form: the part of your brain you SHOULD be using to do sight alignment is the more primitive visual processing center.

And it's colorblind.

The second segment there covers this in detail.

I like this stuff. One seller had a presence on another forum i frequent and offered some ORANGE material for contrast.
