I try to mimic the factory red ramp insert seen on S&W revolvers by just painting the first 3-4 ridges on the front sight. I make sure to mask the areas I don't want painted with painter's tape.

Also I recommend model paint by Testors which offers a color in "Fluorescent Red" that stands out better under low light settings than the factory orange.
