hackR Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 the hands on one of my PAMs have a chipped piece of paint off where they attached to the cp...any idea on what type of paint would work best as a small touchup...just looking for some advice from anyone who has done this - what type of paint, color/number, application process, etc...no need to repaint the entire hand, just wanted to hide a shiny chip... thanks...R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I asked the same question a couple of days ago, over on RG. One member said that he uses matte black model paint (use for locomotive engines?) - the type in those small glass containers. Shake it well and use a paper towel to "dab" the paint on, no brush otherwise it will be to thick. Haven't tried it myself yet, but will soon. blackbard, did those items arrive yet?

hackR Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 thanks, Drulee...that's what i was thinking of...using model paint... black can be a tough color to match - so i was just wondering if something else was out there...anything is better, though, then when the light catches that exposed metal of the hands where its chipped... hey BB!...long time...hope all is well, my friend!...

Yup did the same, looked for "Trains and hobbies" store in the local YellowPages and bough the same Testors bottle for $3.60 CDN (we always pay more up here ). bb, I'll send another two or three I've got sitting around. I've pretty much matched all my parts with their appropriate projects so I don't see myself using these in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
