bkdc Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Everyone who's worked on a Pannie knows how easy it is to chip a little black paint off the edge of the minutes hand when removing them. How do you guys camoflauge the exposed steel? I'm looking for some sort of simple touch-up paint-applying pen kind of device. If anyone could point me to an easy solution without me having to use a can of spraypaint, I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy1 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Testors 1370 flat black acrylic model paint and #0 brush. I thin it a bit with a tiny tiny amount of water and then apply as needed. If it a large scrape you will have to let it dry a bit and then use the brush in a light tapping motion to apply the grainy texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKTOWN Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Everyone who's worked on a Pannie knows how easy it is to chip a little black paint off the edge of the minutes hand when removing them. Try using a black felt tipped marker. If it's a minute section the black felt with disguise it well. Good luck. Just remember fine point , and different brand markers have a slightly different color black, you have to experiment....................JKT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy1 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I have found black marker tend to either a purplish hue color or be a git glossy. The other I have used is a blak grease type map pencil. It work great on tiny nicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re-spray with modellers matte black enamel paint (I use a Tamiya paint). Touching with a brush can be difficult as the tiny amount of paint needed can start to dry before its laid down. I always spray them as it's vey quick drying and gives a nice even finish.

That is a good idea with the spray, I will try that. I use a water base paint and that solves the fast drying problem when I use a brush though.
