spazthecat Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi, I've got a rep Explorer 214270 that I picked up cheap with the intent of using it to learn how to relume a watch dial. The numbered indices even came with lume on them and I wanted that off. So, I gave them a good acetone soak and rubbed them lightly with a q-tip and the lume and base paint layer came off pretty easily. Now, however, the problem is what was under the paint. There are a fair number of scratches and dull spots on them and I'd like to polish them up a bit. I'm not expecting perfection, just a decent improvement. Any suggestions for a process or product to do this? I tried a cape cod cloth already and that didn't make much of a difference. But, I also didn't go at it very hard as I'm afraid of rubbing the plating off of them. Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 That's a difficult task. I am afraid electroplating is the only solution, as you said the risk of rubbing the plating off is serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
