I am really curious how this bezel paint is going to turn out. This is what was recommended for doing the job and I picked up red, orange, white, and black from Micro-tools.com

http://www.micro-tools.com/store/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=L51122

Lacquer-Stik Paintstick
Lacquer-Stik is a quick and easy way to color brighten stamped, carved and engraved lines or lettering on metals, glass, ceramics, plastic, wood, rubber, fiberboard, etc. Does not smear, remains firm and permanent. Rub it in, wipe off excess. Hardens almost immediately. Conforms to government specifications. Fill-ins expand and contract with parts - withstands temperatures to 500 º F. Each Laquer-Stik is 5" long.

I think that is right. It would look good as is, but I think white at all the hours and red in the minutes will look cool and match the hands, also allowing me to see the hours faster since the dial is all black and hard to see sometimes.

Thanks!
The paint sticks did not arrive today, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to start the bezel work. So today I used a sharpening stone to file down some small wooded "micro spatulas" to smear the paint into the grooves tomorrow.
