Next i needed to find the colour for the touch up. This was mixed using red, black, orange and white paint.....put on with a small brush. The pin brushes were to repair the decals with black....which has worked quite well too.
Its then flatted back, and repeated till your happy with the level of finish....
The aim is to try to hide the major damage, whilst keeping a bit of the character and life....so a bit of rub through, bit of deformation, bit of discolour is fine.....its supposed to look old and used...just not totally knackered....so very different to the rocky mountain where it was basically a air brush micro smart repair......
The touched up areas are gloss, but will cut back to pretty much the same colour.
This is far more achievable in a shed without special equipment.
