Birchwood Casey Super Bright Sight Touch-Up Pens – 3 Pack – BC-15116
Restore the visibility of worn, faded, or difficult-to-see firearm sights with Birchwood Casey Super Bright Sight Touch-Up Pens. This three-pen kit includes neon green, fluorescent red, and flat white sight paint, giving shooters a practical way to refresh existing sight markings or improve contrast on suitable rifle, pistol, shotgun, and archery sights.
Iron sights rely on the shooter's ability to quickly distinguish the front sight from the rear sight and surrounding target. When factory-painted markings become chipped or dull, that visual reference can become harder to recognize. Super Bright Pens provide a convenient way to restore contrasting colors without replacing an otherwise serviceable sight assembly.
Customize Your Sight Picture With Three High-Visibility Colors
The kit includes neon green, fluorescent red, and flat white, allowing shooters to select a color that best contrasts with their particular sight arrangement. The white pen can be used by itself for traditional high-contrast markings or as an undercoat beneath the fluorescent colors.
Birchwood Casey recommends applying two layers of white undercoat before adding neon green or fluorescent red for greater color brightness. The resulting contrast can make painted sight references easier to distinguish in many lighting conditions, particularly where existing markings are dark or faded.
Quick Touch-Ups Without Specialized Equipment
Each Super Bright Pen features a chisel-point felt-tip applicator for controlled paint placement on suitable sight surfaces. The fast-drying, lead-free paint is formulated for adhesion and durability, making it useful for routine sight maintenance and cosmetic touch-ups.
Unlike replacing a complete sight assembly, touching up an existing painted sight marking allows shooters to retain their familiar sight geometry while refreshing the visible reference points.
Useful for Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, and Archery
Super Bright Pens can be used on compatible front and rear firearm sights as well as archery sight pins. Whether restoring a white front sight marking on a revolver, refreshing a colored sight reference on a rifle, or improving the contrast of a shotgun bead, the three-color assortment provides flexibility for different sight pictures.
Package Contents: Three Birchwood Casey Super Bright Sight Touch-Up Pens: one neon green, one fluorescent red, and one flat white.
Shipping Restriction: This product cannot be shipped to California, according to Birchwood Casey's published product restrictions.

Using Birchwood Casey Super Bright Sight Touch-Up Pens
Choosing the Right Sight Color
Iron sight visibility depends on the contrast between the sight markings, the firearm, the target, and the surrounding environment. The Birchwood Casey Super Bright three-color kit allows shooters to experiment with flat white, fluorescent red, and neon green to establish a sight picture that works well for their particular application.
Flat White: A traditional high-contrast color that can be used alone or as the base coat beneath fluorescent sight paint.
Neon Green: Provides a vivid green reference that may stand out against dark sight bodies and many common target backgrounds.
Fluorescent Red: Offers an alternative contrasting color for front or rear sight markings and may help distinguish individual sight elements.
Actual visibility varies by lighting conditions, target background, eyesight, and individual color perception.
Why Use White Paint Beneath Fluorescent Colors?
Birchwood Casey recommends applying two layers of flat white undercoat before applying neon green or fluorescent red. The white base provides a lighter foundation that helps the fluorescent topcoat appear brighter than it might over a dark surface.
Basic Application Guidelines
- Unload and Secure the Firearm: Verify the firearm is unloaded, remove ammunition from the work area, and follow the manufacturer's safety procedures.
- Prepare the Sight Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint or contamination. Follow the product's safety and surface-preparation instructions.
- Apply the White Undercoat: Where using fluorescent colors, apply two thin layers of flat white as recommended by Birchwood Casey, allowing appropriate drying between applications.
- Apply the Desired Sight Color: Use the chisel-point felt tip to place neon green or fluorescent red paint on the intended sight marking, keeping paint away from sight adjustments, fiber-optic elements, and moving components.
- Allow the Paint to Dry: Follow the manufacturer's drying instructions before handling the sight or returning the firearm to service.
- Confirm the Sight Picture: Evaluate the finished markings under appropriate lighting and verify point of impact at a suitable shooting range.
Can These Pens Replace Tritium or Fiber-Optic Sights?
No. Super Bright Pens apply visible paint to compatible sight surfaces. They are not self-illuminating tritium inserts and do not function as fiber-optic sight elements.
Their purpose is to improve the visibility and contrast of existing sight markings when sufficient ambient light is available. They do not turn conventional iron sights into illuminated night sights.
Will Touching Up Sight Paint Change the Firearm's Zero?
Refreshing existing painted markings should not, by itself, mechanically change the position of an otherwise undisturbed sight assembly. However, changing the appearance or apparent center of a sight marking can affect how a shooter visually aligns the sights.
After touch-up work, confirm the firearm's point of impact using a suitable target such as the Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C 12-Inch Sight-In Target.
California Shipping Restriction
Manufacturer Shipping Restriction: Birchwood Casey states that Super Bright Pens, part number BC-15116, cannot be shipped to an address within the State of California. Huckleberry Arms will not accept orders for shipment of this product to California addresses.
Paint Safety and Storage
Read and follow the product labeling and applicable Safety Data Sheet. Use in a suitably ventilated area, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and keep away from children. Keep pen caps securely closed when not in use and store according to the manufacturer's instructions.
