Night Sights
Hey guys I'm thinking of painting my airsoft sights. Any good paint products out there? I'm trying to avoid tritium sights.
Here are some products I searched up. Nitesiters Handgun Night Sights SiteGlo GlowInc Glo Nation Glow-On Bright Sights Any opinions on these brands? |

Take a look at my avatar and you will see nitesiters in action. I would describe them as a "Better than nothing solution." They really are terrible other than that. In very dark conditions with a good charge from a proper UV flashlight they can be useful, but other than that don't count on them performing as advertised.

I had nitesiters, and tried bright sites. A friend tried the Glow-ON.
We abandoned ship on paint and stickers and went tritium. That's probably not what you want to read. |

i have the glow on stuff. bought the sticker sheet and the paint. I prefer the sticker. i bought a 1/16 hole punch and made the dots for my pistol and for my rifles. i used the paint on my AK because sight post is too thin.
I just used it in the longest night game ive been to yet. charged it with a very bright lamp for about 5 minutes. it lasted About 3.5 hours gradually getting darker but still usable.(would probably have lasted for over 4 hours) I was very impressed!! and this stuff is cheap! |

Thanks for your help guys. I ordered the Glow-On paint as it seems to have the best results. I was thinking of using green model paint, but the Glow-On stuff seemed more appealing to me.
