Red Hands

[Redwood]

I would like to colour a  second hand or at leased the end and was wondering what techniques and paint you guys use.

Found this https://www.web-horloger.fr/Color-lacquer-for-watch-hands-Red

looks like red nail varnish

I've used enamel paint (as you'd just get from a model shop) with good results. 

I suspect the lacquer you've found is the same thing ... but perhaps thinned to a consistency that makes it easier to apply.

When painting you want to do it in one stroke; don't be tempted to go back and fiddle as you'll be less likely to get a smooth finish. One coat is usually fine but if you think you need a second wait until the first is fully dried first.
