Nice job, mate!
Where did you get your uniposcas from? One of those art supplies shops?

Nice job, mate!
yes sir (B1 at plaza singapura)
you see I didnt take a photo before and after so it would not be of great use showing it how it is now; the main point we should consider and take back here is that this is an inexpensive but highly effective solution.
I spent :
$2 for uniposca silver
$2 for uniposca white
$3 for superfine detailing brush
$5 for a box of 100 individually sealed alcohol (isopropyl 70%) swabs
and the results are stellar, you can't see any lump or defect or anything..it seems perfect to my bare eyes - i dont have nor would use a loupe anyway. Where in dim light it was an almost black bezel, it is now a very luminous, legible bezel.
Furthermore the process is extremely quick (20-30 minutes) and you can just go few rounds of floods (i'm at 4 altogether) without noticing lumps or uneven spots.
Anyway here's an indoor (sunlight from the open windows) shot
Next one I do I'll try to be more detail-oriented. And yes I regret having paid so much money for a CF bezel for another daytona I have. (not that CF is worse, it's just FOR ME I would be more than happy with the posca flood bezel)
Very nice job.
What is your mixing ratio of the white and silver paint?

really hard to be precise because when you press the posca head it spurts out like a teenager sometimes, i think you can visually guesstimate the right color while you are mixing them. The fact that you mix on a plastic mat it gives you margins since the mix will stay runny
KJ2020 says 1 part of white, 2 of silver. Thereabout i'd say.
Have been reading along quietly, but now want to thank everybody. Keen to try this out myself.

An important aspect of these paint mods is continuing care.
Rule #1 - Keep yer grimy mitts off the bezels!
Rule #2 - Don't expose them to dusty and dirty environments
Rule #3 - Don't get them wet, which can carry dirt into the markers
Rule #4 - Clean with a non-alcohol based cleaner and a cloth or a wipe than doesn't dip into the markers. Keep the wipe taut so it swipes only the flat surface.
Rule #5 - If you do have to clean inside a marker, use mild soap and a thick soft artist's brush for the best chance of not disturbing the acrylic paint. Rinse in a thin steam of water running away from the crystal. Make sure the crown and pushers (if present) are screwed down tightly and avoid direct water contact as much as possible.
I have some paint mods two years old now that still look good.
