Polished back plate.
Now the thing is that we can't leave the plate polished because we'll paint it, and there is a chance the paint won't hold on a polished surface.
So again we need to take it under the ss brush.
Now that the plate is clean, we need to apply glossy white paint. This coating will allow the light from the lume to reflect,
and give the impression that it glows brigther.
Here is my homemade painting stand. A piece of sponge, 2 wood sticks, and rodico
Painting the dial with an airbrush.
You'll need 2 layers at least. Allow 30-40 minutes between each layer.
It's important to keep the plate horizontal while the paint dries.
