J.Eric 693 Posted December 9, 2012 Hi Guys! I have a 1680 Red Sub that had horrible yellow-orange indexes. No where close to what vintage lume looks like. So I was going to re-lume it and then age it. Simple, right? Before: And here is the after. Please excuse the horrible job. It was the first time i tried a painted dial. For some reason, the lume turned grey. It sorta looks cool. Kinda stealthy. Every other time before I have used this lume, it comes out off-white. But this time I don't know?? It still glows though............. Would love to know if any one has any idea of why it turned grey? Thanks Guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted December 10, 2012 I think it is fault of the binder mate, did you use some normal lacquer ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
