hello,

here is a rocky and bullwinkle i have been fixing up.
the side art has been scuffed up in places and had some bad touch ups.

i don't think it's bad enough to tear the whole thing down and decal.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hard to tell by the photo. But..With solid spot-color "screen printed" art. you are better off matching the color, filling the entire area. Then finish with black outline.

I used Tamiya acrylic paint to touch up the colour on my Wipeout. Then I got a fine black paint pen to paint in the black outlines. Use a paint pen and not a Sharpie though.

thanks guys.
what about after you do all the matching.
do you use a varnish to blend it all together?

After, instead of mixing the purple I changed the whole section to the colour straight out of the jar.

ahhhh. nice work.
did you clear coat that area after?

I didn't, mainly because at the time I thought I might redo it again another day. That was 2 years ago, it hasn't really worn because it gets a lot less use than in it's arcade days.
