jmarin.72 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi How can i recover the fainted ROLEX OYSTER ORIGINAL GAS ESCAP VALVE logo on the back case of my SD? It seems that the black paint has faded away. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fauxlex Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I would leave it that way. It gives the watch character. But if you really want to restore it, just wipe some black paint in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vester71 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think I read that someone on this board or another used flat black model paint, then put some clear nail polish over it for a nice finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hello and thanks for your reply Do you happen to remember by any chance where did you read it? Thanks I think that was on Rep Geek. I tried it and it worked pretty easily. But, it will wear off just as the original did. Just paint in the letters with a small brush and after it dries, wipe off the excess with a solvent type paint thinner very lightly applied to a clean rag. It will take a couple of tries to get it looking good with all the letters fully covered, but it's really very simple. I didn't try the clear nail polish.
