I can Finally Tell the Futur :o)

[ERVARGASNY]

For a while now i wanted to Paint the Numbers to my Futur Which only has about 3 uses, Don't know why i stopped using it, but its a nice Hefty Shaver, and all though i have small hands it fits Nicely and Feels Right.

OH now i Remember why i stopped using it i don't let my beard grow to much, but i think if i set it to 1 i can use it as a Daily Shaver

So Finally i can tell which number i'm on as i Painted the dots and Numbers Black and the adjustment indicator Red, its a lot easier on the eyes.




Ill take this one for a test drive this weekend

Very cool. I have a Futur too, and I've never even thought of painting the numbers. But after seeing yours, mine looks like it's missing something. What did you use to paint it?

I used Testor's Paint Gloss Black and Red. They had a lighter Red but i was to light, this one for me was just right.. you can find testors paint at any hobby shop

Great idea thanks!! That looks good

Very nice! I may do Haa! Hobby shop tomorrow! I do use my Futur as a daily shaver set on one to one and a half. Great razor. Again, great job on the numbers.

Well done! I wouldn't be able to do this myself (and I like the way the Futur is just fine), but it sure adds a lot of useabilty.

Thanks Roxy, Also i got a can of Goof Off Spray, put some on a Napkin and wiped of excess paint i couldn't get off with my fingers, Turned out better then what it thought it would )

Painting the numbers seems very tricky to me. The more I look at it, the more I like it. But I dont trust myself with intricate work like that....

 

[LegionPrime]

Oh wow, that looks sharp! I didn't even know the Futur was adjustable. *LOL* Great work with the paint, that looks far easier to use now.

Its Really Easy, all i did was follow instructions from This YouTube Video, but i Taped Right under the number and Above the Numbers as well, I used Gloss Black, Looks alot better then flat, at least i think so, Also Gloss does stick to the metal pretty fast, so what ever didn't come off around the Numbers area, I used some Goof Off Spray, put some on a bounty and that extra left over smuge just disappears, I did it Three Times and let it Dry at Least 6 hours Each time.

Go for it, it not that hard

Good job. Wondering how it might look on my satin Futur. I'm gonna need this as I get older and my eye sight fails.

It should look just as good, if not even better because the Satin isn't as shiny as the Chrome. if you ever attempt it post pics up and PM me With a link of photos so i don't miss the post ) I LIKE Pictures.....

 

[rxonmymind]

Got the paint and will try it on the Satin tomorrow.
