What have you used for painting a front/rear sight on your handgun?

Fingernail polish?

Tru-glo paint?  

Older me can’t pick up the front sight as easily as younger me.

I use Testor's enamel paint. Those small bottles like we used as kids when building models. Easy to use, minimal cost, dozens of different colors & gloss or matte finish, any hobby store has it. When dry, it's surprisingly durable! I keep one each of white, red, and orange. In addition to sights, I've used it to touch-up the red or white safety spots on some older handguns & shotguns!

Before moving to an RMR for the same reason I used testors paint. Mixed lime green and yellow to get the perfect hi-viz. very durable. Still on my last gen4 iron sighted gun.
I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.
