Sailing instrument dials - sunbleached - can be repainted?
Some of my Signet instruments have become sunbleached over the years
(25'ish - would like to get several redone - refaced - repainted - whatever the term. They're easy to get to - how or where to do this? No - I don't want new ones because it's easier - thanks. |

Go to an artist's supply shop and buy some press-on letters/numbers.
Use flat paint to spray the face after you remove the bezel. Let the paint dry for a week or so then apply the numbers. Reseal, etc. In article , NT wrote: Some of my Signet instruments have become sunbleached over the years (25'ish - would like to get several redone - refaced - repainted - whatever the term.

I'd contact Signet and ask them. I've had Datamarine instrument
reconditioned by the factory and they came back looking like new for a very fair price. But then in all honesty, if they are 25 years old they may by betond the help of even the factory.

Signet wants an arm and a leg for everything.
