Hi there,

I was chasing the SOHII for some time and finally got lucky a few weeks ago in the sales section. Great watch and i really love to wear it. But unfortunately the paint on the insert (triangle in particular) had peel off. I wonder if I could repaint it by myself or if there is any member on the forum who is able to do so?

Has anyone an idea what paint I should use and where to get it? Any other tricks about repainting an insert are highly appreciated :).

Thanks a lot!

I repainted mine a couple of years ago.
I used this set of paint markers. I mixed silver white and a tiny touch of brown on a plastic surface using the silver marker as the mixer and the brush.
Was able to match the color and sheen almost perfectly.

thanks a lot for your answers. I will upload a picture tomorrow. The suggestion using the metallic pens seems to be the right one for me since the first solutions seems a little too demanding considering my craftmenship abilities.

The great thing is that whatever you paint outside the lines can be easily scraped off the shinny ceramic surface.
