Not the same skills as Praz to paint but here my work...

You're welcome Nico
I think your work on those dials is amazing. Good job, Nico!
BTW, what did you use to fill engravings on numbers, minute markers, etc? Is it wax?

Thanks
As I was looking for something little bit vintage I used wax to fill in white and red. I'm not really happy with my lume application, there was grooves in the lume after drying, and the multilayer is not clean, I need to find a solution to have puffy effect on the second one.

If you mean how I fill in the engravings, I fill them with acrylic paints.
And when the paints not completly dry, I sweep the rest of paints with gasoline using optical cloth.

Wax paint is too messy and leaves residue.
