Default Clock Hand Paint 1969
Do any vendors supply the correct paint for the clock hands? I could probably match up the orange from a hobby store, but the greenish fluorescent minute hand will probably be hard to find. Thanks

I don't sell the paint but Tuesday I'll look to see if it has a number left on the bottle.

One bottle will last you years.... It seems to me as if the color was Sage green or Jade Green (I can't remember), but even that may get you close. Going to a local model supply place may yeild you the correct color. The orange can be purchased under Testors 1173TT Orange Fluorescent and is very close.. not 100 percent but you'd never notice it if all needles were done... or if you just used it for the clock hands.

Years ago I was told to use this Krylon 3547 Tidepool, for the second hand. It looked great.

Thank you Willcox and John 65, hopefully I can find some in a small bottle, cause I don't want to pry the hands off

We use a shrimp fork that is modified (It's bent in a L and ground very thin to fit under the needles) for removing the needles... Safe and works easy.

Testor's red/orange flourescent model paint is a good match for that color. [They also make "red" and "orange"...but you want the red/orange.]
