How to repaint/change the colour of the letters on a G-Shock

[Frogger]

The new lettering looks good!

How long will this paintjob last? I am swimming a lot so I wondered if the nail polish would survive this. Any experience would be much appreciated.

it will last a very long time , as you know the nail polish is watter proof so I don't think you will have any problems !

that was extremely useful. i just got a beat up froggie bot on the bay from australia. the letters on the bezel were dead. i put some nail polish on it, and BLAM... the watch is popping now. it does take a little more work if the bezel is scratched up with deep gouges, but totally worth the effort. fantastic, easy, cheap fix. thanks

Also, if you want more protection while swimming, you could cover the paint with a clearcoat nail polish!

Great idea!

I've just bought a black gulfman and waiting for it to arrive, however I want to make it all black and get rid of the red G shock letters and the white 'rust resist' on the strap, how would i go about this? just to get rid of the colour and not replace it. thanks.

Any idea how this works on a metal watch? I have a GW2000BD that has the stamped lettering & numbering on both the resin and metal part of the watch.

I think doing this How to dye a yelly G-Shock: Hoochy's Idiots guide to watch dying! but with black colorant will do the job for what you want, you have to boil the strap too with the bezel and it will be exactlly as you want it !

I just tried this using some gold fingernail polish. Unbelievable how well this works. And to think, it uses stuff already laying around the house! Outstanding tip, thank you!

Yow are more than welcome.
For my next project I think that I would like to do the letters in rainbow colors like on some bape models, I know it will be hard but is worth giving it a shot, but first I have to buy all the colors of nail polish.
