Champagnesky Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi mates! Has anyone tried tinting lume with oil paints? I need to relume a couple of watch hands, but dont have any other paints around? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 May I ask what one would usually use to tint them? I have a problem with matching the daylight color of hands to a dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandshawn Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I use artist pastels. Just use a file to rub a little colored dust into the lume. A tiny bit goes a long way... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Did a test yesterday and it was a complete fail. Read on another forum that enamel paint should work. The binder is acrylic though, so I bought Vallejos acrylic based model paint. Will test tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Acrylic paint mixed with lume and binder works well. It will somewhat reduce the lume intensity but it´s great/cheap for attaining certain tints, for instance vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pigment solution is the most rational, considering that the lume is a pigment too. Where did you buy these btw? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
