hackR Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi guys...have a DSN pencil lead pvd PAM...it has a couple of really minor nick spots (pin head size...so i'm anal - i know!) where i can see the bare metal...the case is one of DSN's pencil lead pvd, so it's a dark gray and not black...in the past, i would use a sharpie marker to spot treat a darker pvd coating...but with the pencil lead colored pvd coating, i'm thinking this might not be wise...has anyone touched up a pencil lead PAM case, and if so, what did you do?...thanks...R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owram2 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Out of curiosity, do you have pictures of the pencil lead PVD? I am thinking of purchasing one from him but unsure of the actual color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) DSNs PVD is not very tough....give it a funny look and it will scratch. With that said, Sharpie makes fine tip paint pens in many different shades of gray. Try it out.

I would guess you would have but maybe that might do enough to disguise it Or thinking about it...have you seen that DIY way of doing etching ...using batteries and some wire with a cotton bud.... ? you know the way that doing that makes the SS darken...well that maybe right for a pencil finsih to match it in or take your eye off it without a darker patch up attracting it..

mir36 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) HackR try flat gunmetal paint from Testor's. Or gunmetal plus flat coat. Better yet get flat black and silver then try to match the shade by mixing it yourself. Edited December 8, 2013 by mir36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
