Question Paint front sight?

Hi!

I fired my new to me m64-5 the last few days. Shooting southerly, late in day, just before sunset. Setting sun had no cloud blockage, and was shining in right eye. Low clouds, gray.

Several times I had difficulty discerning the stainless front blade. I wouldn't have had the problem w/ the 3 dot, or other systems, on a new auto.

So I'm wondering, do any of you pro's ever put a dab of red or white paint on the front blade ramp to make it easier to pick up? Maybe some black on the flat top?

The front blade ramp is serrated. It didn't help much.
