Hello mate, I would like to age a bit the indexes, I know this can be done with paint or coffee, this will make the darker, are there any trick to make them lighter and reduce the lume effect?
I’m thinking at milk or white paint for example

well if you are reluming you can always tint the lume with a magic marker , put a spot of the magic marker in you mixing surface , before you add your binder , the binder will mix with the ink

I did it before with coffee, but I would like to try to make indexes more white to reduce the lume effect that is too much for a vintage, the only matter is that must be accurate otherwise the white will be visible on the black dial
