Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Model Touch Up paint
Posted: 5/10/2022 4:01:42 PM EDT
I have a metal diecast model UPS jet that needs some touch up paint. The color needed is UPS Brown that is glossy and can go on metal. The other thing I need is a fine hair small brush that doesn't leave lines.

Does anyone know what may work? Thank you in advance for any advice.

My suggestion would be to fine an enamel like Testors, lightly brush touch with several applications and let dry a week or so.  Go back and wet sand with 1500-2000 grit and carefully to smooth the paint and then polish by hand.

Thanks for the tips and help! I screwed up and got a drop of super glue on a spot also. I guess that fine grit sand paper may work to get that off too. My hands are too big to do details well. I really enjoy looking at everyone's work here.
