splke 4,371 Posted May 19, 2019 Should have just popped the pearl out when the bezel was how you wanted it. Most old subs have lost the pearl anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a lucky sod! Re temp, I didn't finesse the cooking part, but it was pretty high. Probably 225C 2 minutes ago, Bill_Niggs said: Phew, glad I didn't say anything.

Theviking 197 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Beautiful work @GingerBubba, but I thought your goal was a rustmariner? Use one of @NCRich's tamiya kits, and borrow some Pacific seawater and organic apple vinegar from @hanski Edited May 20, 2019 by Theviking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC1221 44 Posted August 31, 2019 I’ve found that you can do this with one of those small torchs (the type used by chefs). This can get you a nice even color or slight color shifts from light black to brown. Perfect for a tropical dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC1221 44 Posted August 31, 2019 But it also works on the dial. And I'd reckon the pearl too. I wouldn’t try that on a dial. Paint on brass works a bit different than anodized aluminum. The paint would just bubble up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,271 Posted August 31, 2019 Thanks for clarifying, I thought you meant you'd turned a dial tropical too - I follow now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
