Whiter Whites

I want to change the color of the yellowish index markers on this dial

To look like the white index markers on this dial

I have considered (but not yet tried)

  1. Chlorine Bleach
  2. Painting the existing lume with white paint
  3. Scraping off the existing lume and repainting with white lume
Of the 3, the bleach would be best since, if it works, the original texture and shape of the lume will remain the same. But I do not know if the bleach will whiten the color, or if it will whiten it consistently (without blotching), or if it may deteriorate the lume causing it to flake off.

If anyone else has tried this, what did you use & do?

I agree and just did (inquire)

Actually, the DRSD dial would need alot more than the index markers. The crown is too narrow and the text in the lower half of the dial is not layed out very well. I do not know if he can do much about that (or better than the original repainter did), but we will see what he thinks.

Thanks again for the suggestion, Avitt.

Tribal, you've got that stuff down to a science :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I just used some Revell (with a drop of Yellow Ochre) to mod a set of Clark hands... I am still grateful for your original suggestion of Night Color, so long ago.
