Firstly i would like to thank J.eric for his tutorial

my tutorial is all about the bezel colour. when i received my watch the bezel number colour was white which is completely wrong compared to the Gen which is supposed to be platinum, so today i decided to kill some time and change the colour.

 

equipment:

nail polish remover

cotton wool

platinum acrylic paint

 

1. i removed the original white paint off the bezel using the wifes wonderful nail polish remover which has acetone in it to remove the paint, beware and dont soak the cotton wool in acetone just use a little and rub the white paint off. the result is shown in pic 1

 

2. remove excess acetone and leave iot to dry for 15mins

 

3. use the paint and colour in the numbers, dont worry about going over the lines as this would be removed later. leave to dry for 15minutes

 

4. use nail polish remover and remove excess paint on the sides, you might remove the paint within the numbers but dont worry as it will be coated again.

 

5. recoat and remove excess after drying

 

here are the pics:

 

 

Finished
