I have been painting front sights for many years. I used nail polish when I first started but found that Testors model paints work far better.

I have a Hobby Lobby close by that has a good selection of colors. I buy the Day-Glo orange. If you can't find the model paints then a spray can of dayglo orange works too. Neon green is also easy to see.

If you paint a base coat of white first your top coat wil pop out much brighter. If you use spray can paint just spray a small amount in a plastic cup, bottom of a coke can or something similar. And toothpicks are the best thing for painting the sight with.
