Deadman Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks they are crystal clear for the most part. Some will have one small bubble some where in the middle that will pass. If a bubble hits the edge and stay well the knob with be through out. I just dumped out a complete set for an AN/ARC 164 full of bubbles for some reason to high of humidity possibly so the AC is on now and we will make a new batch soon.

Deadman Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) OK here is a slightly damaged knob. Wash the knobs first with an all purpose cleaner to remove any release agent that may still be on the knobs if you don't the paint will not stick.This is a critical step the knobs must be thoroughly washed and dried completely I will uses this Type of paint have on hand it will bond to the knob. Normally I paint then let the knob dry for 24 to 72 hours then re coat .There are several paints that will stick to plastics. These are satin finish usually after the knobs are dried for 7 days. I will give them a light coat of Krylon Matte finish 1311 to seal them all. So if you find a gloss or satin finish in just the right shade you like then you can turn it in to a matte finish. and give the knob an extra layer of protection. Several light coats give an even layer of paint let it dry as recommended by the manufacture. Now after a day or two we will need a few things the next color of paint A bit of modeling clay an Xacto knife q-tips /cotton swabs,and a wooden tooth pick. Take the Xacto knife and with a bit of clay on the blade gently press the clay in to the recessed arrow that we want to stay white. Now you will want to gently remove as much of the clay as possible with the knife. Then clean the area with some glass or all purpose cleaner to remove as of the residue. check closely to make sure everything you want to be white is filled. Now after the required drying time i usually wait three days to a week depending on temp. Paint the second color Now you will want to wait several days to do the next part or you will not have clean sharp edges. Use the tooth pick to remove the clay and top coat of paint and you will have clean sharp lines Here is another knob i had finished Now after this all dry coat with one or two light coats of the Matte finish to make the knobs look real.

moken Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 You can recommend paint or any materical that your project use, i will try to buy from other country.
Deadman Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 The material that the back light able knobs are cast from is a clear urethane. The solid black or gray knobs are cast from Polyurethane. You will have to choose witch type of paint will work best on the knob you would like to paint. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
