| OK, I accidentally chipped some of the paint off of my Beretta 92fs front sight. Is there anything inexpensive I can do to fix this? |
does it chip or scratch off? also, does it hold up after a day at the range? |
|
depends on your technique. I do a "base coat" of white, then a "color coat" of red (or orange or whatever), then a "clear coat" of whatever clear stuff is handy from the Mrs. nail polish dept. Holds up really well, and I think having the white under the color makes it a little brighter? |

From years of experience, the most durable and easy to use are model airplane paint, Rust-oleum paint, Plasti-Coat paint, and appliance touch-up enamel. The Rust-oleum is very durable, but you wind up wasting most of it since it only comes in 8 oz cans. It takes at least overnight to harden up, and even longer in deep dot sights, but it's VERY durable. The Plasti-Coat is sold by Wal-mart in the paint department in small 2 oz glass jars. It comes in a good range of very bright colors and drys hard. Appliance touch-up enamel only comes in white and beige, but it's extremely hard and tough. For white sights, I use Gloss White, which shows better. |
