Its a definite improvement IMHO. I've actually got a quick comparison for ya. Thinking about doing a write up for it if I have time.

From left to right, stock glow dots in light, glow dots slightly charged in shade, and the redone dots in light. Lighting conditions are slightly different but the dots are more pronounced in person than in the pic, more so under bright sunlight.


Paint used was a couple of thin coats Krylon camo and just some Testors model paint I picked up at a hobby store for the dots. I had the Krylon chip on me when I went to reinstall the front sight so I had to redo that a couple of times but after a bit of trial and error on cure time and methods it turned out fine. I've left it alone for about a week now to let the Krylon fully harden. Its advertised as chip free after 7 days but time will tell. Looks great at the moment though.
