bertieng Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 What are the ways to age the red paint like on the Milgauss seconds hand arrow tip, and that red triangle on the 6538 insert? Use the bleach soaking method as for the black paint on the insert? Or should it be other special ways/treatment for the red paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 bleach is one way to go. halogen or leaving it the sun is probably another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The red triangle on the bezel is probably faded from mechanical wear. Under the crystal it can only happen from UV light and the reds are very very durable. The red letters on this one have been exposed to trillions of watts of UV light over the decades and it's still as red as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobliteration Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 3 weeks in full sun faded the red on this dial pretty well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
