I have a RIA .38 snub; it's parkerized; the sights are all parkerized, as well, which makes them difficult to line up; the front sight is permanently attached to the barrel, thus replacement is more difficult/costly. I've seen others who have painted their sights with paint, paint markers, nail polish, etc. My questions are: how have you made your front sights stand out? How has it held up? What kind of prep do I need to do to the sight before painting it? What color did you use? Would you do it the same way knowing what you do now or do it a different way? Thanks in advance!
