Tinsy bit off topic but are those the late model “classic” new production stocks seen here? Pretty!White-then-blaze orange Testors paints for me, too. All of my stainless guns that don’t have black sights get painted, as do most of my small frame revolvers, Ruger LCP’s, etc.
I tried day-glo green over white paint, but it didn’t help me too much so I stick with orange.
I do have issues with the orange sight paint and using orange stickers or orange-centered targets like these (Ruger .41 mag, front sight is not painted). Sometimes the orange color bleeds together for me and my shots are off a bit.

Other colors give me fewer issues, this is a 4” Model 65. 357 Mag with the front sight painted orange. (These targets are not great for red-ramp guns as those blend in for me, too. Damn I hate getting older! )

Love the horse race quote above about your guns all lined up.
Stay safe.
They are the new “retro” factory grips. .I took out my new-production Model 48 .22 WMR to compare, and other than the medallion color the two sets of grips are identical.Tinsy bit off topic but are those the late model “classic” new production stocks seen here? Pretty!
Yes white model paint and then red or orange, but I use the brightest/sparkly NAIL POLISH I can find, or sometimes I leave them white.They are the new “retro” factory grips. .I took out my new-production Model 48 .22 WMR to compare, and other than the medallion color the two sets of grips are identical.

I realized that when I took the range photo the grips were on the 4” Model 65 .357. I have since moved them to the 4” Model 64 .38 Spl., and put Hogues on the 65. (Other than the cylinder length, these guns are almost identical side by side.)

The white-then-orange model paints really pop.
Stay safe.
Get that oily spot on your fingers unknowingly, and before you know it you start look like you belong in Bob and Doug’s booking photo from Strange Brew.LOL. Yea, but it was always messy and didnt last long.
Hoppes has/had a spray on sight black that worked better, but was even messier.
Another good option is Fluorescent Green. That's a rather obnoxiously brilliant Green that really stands out.
That's the most visible color under most lighting conditions.
