Repairing paint divets

[Fizl]

Hi ya,

On the look out for advice again. One of my cats has very generously decided to knock a figure I was in the process of painting onto the floor while I was away. He now has to patches of hair that are bare down to the metal Is there an easy way to repair this as usually it is pretty dmn easy to notice the mark no matter what I do to repair it (this has happened more than once to me).

When I have done this before, I have used a little brush on primer then paint, but it never comes to the smae level as the other layers of paint.

Do you guys have any little tips or tricks that will help get rid of this annoying problem (exclude any that involve the offending cat please )

Shaz; you are saying that the figure has patches of Hair down to the bare metal. There are a few tricks to try you could:-

Individually repaint several thin layers up to the level of the damaged parts time consuming and tedious but will work.

Scrape all the hair at the same height down to bare metal and repaint/prime and then work the colours back up.

Carefully paint acetone over the hair to remove the colour paint, then reprime and paint the whole thing back to the level it was at before the moggy assault.


When You see Peter next just check out that he wasn\'t bribing your cat to sabotage your figures. lol

This happened to me recently on that Widowmaker. I dropped it on a glass table, and it bounced onto a wooden floor. It had big chunks of paint missing. I very carefully built up layers of paint on the bare metal, using it like fine filler.
DR is right - it\'s a pain in the arse but it works....

I am guessing that I am going to make a bit of a dog\'s dinner of your coiffure...Unless you happen to be bald

Given that avatar, you should be more familiar with the secondary effects of extreme violence...

Not to mention tongue-in-cheek humour...

Or depending on where the chip is, go the other way and paint thin flesh color for instant bald spot
