Why mess with a 60 year old gun?

I want it to be completely reversable and able to be wiped off if I get any on the finish. I will tape off the area around the sight.

So advice would be helpful!
NEON GREEN, 0VER A BASE COAT OF WHITE. THAT'S THE LAST COLOR OF THE SPECTRUM TO DISAPPEAR IN LOW LIGHT.....

APPLY IT WITH A TOOTHPICK, RATHER THAN A BRUSH......
