Great Indicator Knob Enhancement - Gun Sights

[Wire Weasel]

Periodic reminder:

Many radios have black knobs with Center Slot "slits" which are also black and thereby all but impossible to see especially at night.

I use this stuff, super phosphorescent marker paint. Also specifically for use on gun sights. Is awesome. Small bottle will do dozens of applications. I use on all my gun sights and mobile black radio knobs with the center indicator.

I bought off of amazon.com but can get other places.

I just got my bottle of white fluorescent paint today. I just painted the knobs of my Optima. Gonna do a couple pistol sights as well.

Well, this stuff is lame. It only lasts a short time before it stops glowing.

Junk.

Thank you very little

never mind,,,bad read on the problem.

i was going to suggest clear coat finish but that is not the problem.

I used differing thicknesses and even juiced the stuff up by exposing to bright light and it fades in less than 15 minutes.
Either I got a bad batch or the stuff is lame.

I have a self winding watch with this "light energized" luminus hands and dial....even hiking all day in bright sunlight , the dial glows intensly , but looses illumination rapidly after a couple of hours. If you do use this on gunsights or knobs , try putting a white base coat down first as these paints do not cover well ( for lack of better term).
