Embossed lettering highlights

[jttheclockman]

I am looking to take a watch dial that has emboss raised lettering but it is the same color as the background. I want to color the lettering to make it stand out. But the watch dial will be cast in Liquid Diamonds so the paint or whatever suggested needs to stand up to the resin. Now LD does not generate the same hot heat that other resins do when they kick off so that may save the paint. Anyone done anything close to this project and what did you use and how did it turn out? If you have a photo that would be super cool. Thanks in advance.

I haven't but it sounds very cool! I hope you can do it!

Could you maybe run a nail file or similar lightly across the letters exposing the base material which will probably be different in colour.

I have used LD over a number of coatings, both oil and water based and have never had a bad reaction. Just be sure that what you use is fully cured.

Interesting idea. May have a look at that.
