My friend and I both have an SR9 where the rear sites have been filed for some reason and you see silver where they filed vs black. See attached pic.

What type of paint would be good to use to touch this up. This filing was done on the front and back of the sight.

Thanks

I have heard folk using nail polish, but any hobby paint should do the trick.

I just read OP's other post, I would be sending the gun back to Ruger if it was mine.
Questions: Did you check the gun out thoroughly before you left the store? Was it discounted in any way because it was marked? Did you buy as is?

James6591, My gun guy is actually getting me a new gun because of all the other issues vs. sending back to Ruger. We were in a little hurry when picking up the guns and didn't really have time to break them down there.. The light was not that great and we really didn't notice until we cleaned them. My friends guns is all good except for the paint job on he rear site and he just wants to touch up vs sending to Ruger.


Thanks much to he rest of you.
