Relume on a 202/a dial

In my opinion it looks extra cool, the indices and numbers are very good. Texture is maybe a tad too rough imho.
For sure a dial I'd happily use in a build :thumbup:
Thank you for the input :)

The shot in direct lighting does make the dial look quite textured. To the touch and at all other angles it definitely doesn't look like that. Not sure how I would remedy that though. A gloss coat would be too far the other way and a matte cost would make it worse. I could always try a couple more coats and then a light wet sanding... but I don't want to risk ruining the dial.

The texture is about as good as you can get with a spray can. really solid work. Don't touch it!!!

You took a iffy DSN dial and made it top notch. And the really cool thing is you did it all by hand which in and of itself is just like the gen.

Thanks again for the compliment. Now if I can just get a reply from DSN about a caseset or even complete 202a, I'll be able to redo the handset and build this thing.

BAM! Great work here. Modding DSN dials to this level? Maybe you are on to something here...
