breukelen Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 First of all, kudos to FGD for these amazing dials. Seriously, I'm astonished at how beautiful these dials are and the attention to detail is absolutely second to none. As some of you know, the stock FGD dials have a metallic looking finish which is visible in certain angles. As The Zigmeister and some other modders have done, I used 3 coats of (Tamiya TS-80) clear matte spray to make the dial appear more matte and less shiny. The results were perfect. The spray work resulted in a uniform, matte black finish and didn't change the finish of the existing paint on the dial. Sorry, no pics just yet Although when I installed the dial into the watch, the dial then appeared slightly grey in some light and depending on the angle. The lack of AR in the crystal definitely gives this illusion. So my question is... do any of you modders use an additional coating of perhaps a semi-matte or semi-gloss spray to get the dial to appear more black? Or better to leave it the way it is?
