Have a TAF that has a couple of scratches on the white coating on the back of the translight. The art has not been damaged, has anyone touched theirs up matching the opacity? Right now I can see the “hot spots” where I am missing the white material.

I used the tape- type white out. I tore off little bits to fit just right, figuring if it didnt look good I could just peel it off. That was a few years ago and it still looks great.

There are a few ways to do it, but white acrylic seems to be the best.
