projectologist Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I got this PreV 203/A dial awhile ago but it came with FGD's off-white lume and was abit lumpy. But the font is the correct thickness and has the subtle/almost there serif font. So nice. So I decided to see if I could paint-fill the indices with a more obvious shade of yellowed patina. I'm happy how it turned out (although I did have to go back in with a micro riffler file and smooth out the indices a bit). You can see the original lumpy surfaces in the last pic where I had been test different shades of yellow. Eventually the case will get the correct PVD coating that is correct for this dial. Still testing colors in pic below... note the original lumpy/gritty paint fill I ended up smoothing out.

spankster23 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 That's a really nice job! I have been looming back plates for a while now, and haven't tackled the indices and numbers from the front. I have a 24d I want to re-lume. I'm not sure I have steady enough hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
