Hello,

I was thinking about a way to restore old hands to match an old dial lume which does not glow.

Is there something like a non glowing lume paint that someone can recommend?

ps: I though I was posting this in the mod & repair section. my mistake.

Mix one yourself with matte paint, maybe add a little fine sand or ground glass for texture. Hit the art-supply store.

You know... coffe and curry for aging lume, eggs for brass and bronze, some people in the past used sauce... maybe we're not building watches, we're cooking them :lol:
