I finally tried luming, my first attempt was a fail. I mixed resin with hardener and it dried up in no time. So I tried it without the hardener giving me time to apply the lume.

Here are the results

I still haven’t learned how to properly paint dials yet. A lot of videos where just spray painting the dial. Not sure if that is the way to go or air gun painting, for more layers and details.

I have lots of blanks to practice on though.

Homage forum has some good stuff spray paint cans are good Black and white dials. For color fades and more detail buy a set up to spray paint.

I have tried to register there using multiple email addresses on multiple browsers and I cannot get a confirmation email. I have emailed the help desk probably four times asking for help and never get a reply. I want to learn how to build watches and know that site has some great info. I wish I could get access to it. From what I have read, I’m not the only one who seems to have that problem...
