Title: Any tips on artwork touch ups ?
Post by: Outrun on August 13, 2006, 02:50:40 pm

Hey there,

I have a few scratches on the side panel artwork & was just wondering what people have used to touch up in the past. I was going to use a very small modeling brush with oil paints but i've also read that some people use coloured marker pens.

I'd greatly appreciate any comments you might have.

One of those 36 color assorted packs of Sharpies seem to be the most common approach.

Thanks

Sharpie 24 piece set at Target (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-1/qid=1155702327/ref=sr_1_1/601-8002052-8415333?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B0003WN0DO)

I wouldn't try to do anything an inch wide with it.
