Painting a watch case

[Valmont]

Hello forum 

I've noticed that case of my watch is starting to get yellowish cause of the wear 

Can anyone advice or give me any idea on how or what product to use to paint it up ? 

Thank you

Do you, by any chance, wear a vintage chrome plated watch case ?

[Valmont]

Ummm not that vintage for as i know but yes its chromed 

[Chopin]

Chromed cases are made out of brass (or something like that) and afterwards chromed so it's not solid chrome so to speak.

Your only bet is to get it re-chromed I reckon...

Which likely will cost more money and effort than the same (dubious quality) watch bought new.

Only the OP knows if it's worth it or not, I guess. I don't care about other people's money.

You would also have to find someone that does a good job as not everyone can do a good replating job.

Neither I do, but like to tell things in plain truth. If one wants a watch which won't fade in color buy Stainless Steel or Titanium.

You're both right gentlemen, its not about the value or the watch, a "Kenneth Cole reaction Edition", yes re-chroming/replating is an option but i dont know where i can do that here. That's why i asked is there's some kind or paint that i can do it by myself

Not really, pant will peel or look tacky, or both. There are cheap DIY plating kits on Ebay etc, these are also known to give poor results.
