Usage Guidelines

While most of our customers have some experience with applying these pigments, we understand that everyone has to start somewhere. If this is your first time, we've put together some basic guidelines to help you achieve the best results.

Applying luminous paint to a watch dial and hands requires precision and careful handling for an even, long-lasting finish. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Preparation

   • Gather Tools: You’ll need fine-tipped brushes, a steady work surface, a loupe or magnifying glass, tweezers, gloves, and protective eyewear.
   • Work in a Dust-Free Environment: Dust can easily settle on the paint, so working in a clean, stable area is essential.
   • Wear Gloves: This helps avoid oils from your skin transferring to the dial and hands, which can interfere with the paint’s adhesion.

2. Disassemble the Watch

   • Remove the Dial and Hands: Carefully remove the dial and hands from the watch movement. Use tweezers or a hand-removal tool to avoid bending or damaging them.

3. Mixing the Luminous Paint

   • Combine Paint and Solvent: Mix the pigment and solvent to achieve the right consistency. Usually, a ratio that results in a paste-like consistency is ideal. Too much solvent can thin the paint, making it difficult to apply evenly.
   • Test for Consistency: The paint should be smooth and not too runny. You may want to practise on a small piece of metal or plastic before applying it to the dial.

4. Application on Hands and Dial Markers

   • Apply to the Dial Markers: Use a fine brush or a toothpick to apply a small amount of luminous paint to each marker or index. Work slowly to avoid uneven coverage.
   • Apply to the Hands: Steady your hand and apply a thin, even coat of paint to the hands. Ensure that the paint does not spread outside the intended area.
   • Multiple Coats (Optional): For a brighter effect, apply two or three thin coats, allowing each to dry before adding the next.

5. Drying and Curing

   • Let It Dry Fully: Luminous paint can take several hours to fully dry and cure. Place the hands and dial in a dust-free, stable area while they dry.
   • Avoid Touching During Curing: Handling the components before they’re fully cured can smudge or ruin the paint.

6. Reassembly

   • Reinstall the Dial and Hands Carefully: Once the paint is dry and cured, reassemble the watch carefully to avoid scratching or damaging your work.

Applying luminous paint can be challenging due to its delicate and detailed nature, so take your time to achieve an even finish.

    *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

    All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

    While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

    Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

    It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued. For more information, please contact accounts@mwc-distribution.com

    If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/. In the United States, orders under $800 do not incur taxes or fees. In Australia, orders up to AU$1000 are tax-free.

    We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

    Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

    Safe Place Deliveries

    Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

    Failed Deliveries

    If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.
