I tried Bright Sights, the colors are hardly more than pastels.
Testor's model paints are more widely available, but I found Model Master paint at Hobby Lobby in an orange-tinged red that I like better than other shades. Putting it down over a white base coat really matters; that reflects light that passes through the color layer back out and brightens the blade a good deal.
Another possibility is auto body touch-up paint.
Do not discount fingernail polish.
