Any product you will recommend to improve my barely visible sight on my TP-9?

I used the fluorescent nail polish which teeny-boppers use on my lever-action rifle.

My sights are now a bright, snot green.

I use bright white auto paint, prepare and clean very well and applied with a 25 gauge syringe.

I would suggest that's high temp also.

If you don't mind redoing it somewhat frequently, craft/hobby shops sell any number of colors.
Nail polish can work, but it is even less durable.
I found a glow in the dark paint at Michaels which I used on a few sights that had recesses... I put a few thin coats into the dimples and filled them just shy of flush. When dry it yields a slightly yellowish white that does glow a bit in the dark after light exposure.  I can scrape it out with a dental pick and reapply it when it chips or flakes.

Glow-On super phosphorescent paint. It's ~$6 a bottle on amazon, and catches light very well. Just reapply every 3-5 months. It really is a neat little product. Not a replacement for night sights, but its damn good.

A couple of companies, like Hoppe's, make sight black. It sprays on like paint, and gives a crisp black sight picture. It lasts a while, but cleans off with a toothbrush.  If you like colored sights, you might at least try it at the range.

I'd avoid the Truglo paints. They aren't that bright, they rub right off, and hard to apply.

I believe that is the same stuff I landed at the local Michaels.   I tend to remove/ reapply mine about twice a year.

I want something that is heat resist, pistol get hot after firing.  Something durable, don’t want to reapply often.  And something that I may can get at the local Wal-Mart or hardware store.  Any suggestions?  Thank

I use a bottle of white appliance touch up paint from a local hardware store. It's packaged like White Out, with a little brush attached to the lid.
