I have recently obtained a 1943 Watson and Watson No32 Mk1 scope (serial 2707) and i am wanting to refinish the Range and Deflection drums.

How should I go about it.

Repainting the drums in black is easy enough.

I am seeking guidance on how to repaint the engraved numbers.

Is white the corrrect colour?

What sort of paint?

What technique/process is required to get the neat painted number finish?

Thank you

Paul
