GMT Master 1675 c. 1970 hands relume problem

there are problems in the lume of the hour hand in my relume of the hands job which was done. My questions are, can the relume of the hands be taken out again or redone? How common are mistakes or folds/craters in the relume of hands?
Thanks!

I did it at a restorer in Los Angeles. it took a long time and my watch came back slower than. when it went in it was not expensive. 150 to be exact. so I did not want my watch there any more. I want to focus on the future and get a really good job next time. if anyone could recommend someone good for color matching lume. I will do all of them over again. Thanks
