I think you have your answer by the general tenor of the replies. I wouldn't have this done even if Renoir offered to do it for free. But, to each his own I suppose.
If you elect to do so, please post some pix. Mark Sent from my SM-A520W using Tapatalk |

I kinda understand the OP’s point. But then OP would want to paint the hour marks black too after awhile. :)
I do agree with OP that a real panda dial on cerachrom Daytona would be awesome. |

Sourcing the 116519's steel Panda dial would be my aim.

Great way to quarter the resale value of a $20k watch, lol. I agree the concept looks good, but would never alter a dial like that. If you’re sold on the panda dial, consider a WG 116519LN or 116509. The panda dials have such exquisite detail that a quick aftermarket paint job would pale in comparison.

It would be sacrilegious to do that to a Daytona.

You’d also be unable to service the watch at RSC

Maybe take the dial off completely for a different look.
