I found two more companies that will mix lume in a base for me. I received both and they are looking great. They both are water based and I have a clear coat for the top if I want to use it. I had the opportunity to play with it last night just a bit and am excited with the colors and the glow time I was getting from these. Purple would be at the bottom of the list but I think it has something to do with the wave length of that color, as it is not bad when left by it's self in comparison. Thought some would find this interesting. The opportunities continue to expand. And our dial maker is hard at it and should be giving us a report soon. These pictures are not taken with any black light help, just the charge from my two white desk lamps....

Looks like fun! If you like, go to my pal Angelo in Spain's website and see his gallery shots of different lume color combos!  http://www.the-relumer.com/
He was experimenting way back in 2004 with luming his g shocks!

Thanks enjoyed the look. I guess you either like lume or you don't care. It has always been important to me. He is correct it is best done totally by hand and it is very time consuming. Some days I won't even try I just know I will have a better day. My reward is having a lot of one offs. Again thanks for sharing.
