Dealing with sunny days and sight glare

 Not the greatest picture but it get the point across.
 Yesterday's shooting session was in a nice sunny sandpit and I really had some issues with glare and heat vapors .
 I've tried sooting the sights, paper towel tube shaders etc
 Nothing worked any better than the other
 So after some Internet reading I came across several accounts of folks use a flat black spray paint on the top flat and sights.
So I thought I'll give it a try.
 As you can see the front sights shines quite nicely and the side flat still reflect light but the top flat is dull
 Our club has a shoot tomorrow so we'll see then how it works .
 Thoughts and comments welcome.

Certainly no authority on sights, but sure seems like it would help to me. Looking forward to find out if it does. While we're on this subject, you know a lot of guys put paint on their sights. Mostly front, but sometimes rear. I read an article one time that recommended put blue paint on the front, and yellow on rear (I think). I tried to find the article to take a photo of this info, but can't find it. Still looking. Has anyone else ever heard of this before? Kevin, I hope your paint works so good you ace the course tomorrow.

Well thank you,  as long as I beat a guy named Archie I'll be good
  I know some clubs, TMA postal shoot and others forbid painting the front sight, like a bead I suppose.
 Nothing I've found about painting the flats though.
 I'll give a report tomorrow after the shoot.
