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.

duracoat for real steal makes a paint that works for night sights

Thanks monterto and drk242. Are there any other users out there that have used any of these products?

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!

white nail polish works really well

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.
