Glowing sights- need advice

I am considering painting my sights with flourescent paint. Has anyone done this and might have any advice before I try?
Specificaly: which color(s) are best? Dots or squares? What brands of paint/suppliers? I have seen glowing 'stickers', any recommendations?
Thanks in advance:^)

I tried that once a long time ago. I don't remember who's kit it was but it didn't work worth a hoot.

Do yourself a favor. Give up a bad habit for a couple months and save up a couple hundred dollars and get a real set of night sights from Trigicon or Meprolight or one of the others. There is no substitute.

I prefer armed combat to unarmed combat. It's easier on the knuckles.
 
I second Speedy. I've tried all the "glowing paints" and the different colors. When I finally went to night sights, it was Trijicons to start, then I got upset that after a year or so, my little white rings wore off.
I then switched to Meprolights. Cheaper, have permanent white rings, and work just as long.
Save up $75 for Mepros, you won't ever go back!

I tried it too Apple. I used one of those little bottles, smaller than fingernail polish. I applied a number of layers like the instructions said, but it sure didn't hold it's glow very long. I have since peeled it off.

I am saving up to have night sights installed. So I guess I'm just seconding Speedy's advice. --plinker2--
 
Thanks for the info,
This weekend I tried some paint and the only way it would glow is if the paint were lit on fire. I guess I'll have to plunk down the $ for a pro job.
Thanks
 
Get the Trijicons. I have them on my G19. They are great!!! Don't even mess with those glow paints.
