Default Painting front sights

I have a M-65 that I bought in 76.....I shot it extensively for years and competed with it in IPSC....along with a GI 1911A1...I painted both front sights with Testor's white....a lot of my IPSC matches were at night and we had high mass lighting to the rear....the front sights "jumped out" and were very easy to pick up visually.....both guns still wear that paint....and they have been used a LOT over the years....I even had SO's comment on the sights when they were watching me shoot a stage. I found that having the entire ramp painted helped me pick up the sight faster.
