I thought i would purchase a few cheap dials and see if i could make them look better unlike my last experiment which involved 200c oven abuse this time i just used 2 acylic laquers the first was teak colour and then clear coat all sprayed at a distance away to achieve a textured semi-matt look here is the dial as purchased and then photos of the dial through various spray stages The yellow turned orange !
why do they do these yellow markers ? notice the scrape at the 1 oclock marker
all i could do with the damage was scrape it with a tooth pick !
