Touching up Paint on Vinyl and Polystone figures?

#1 Post by mjb »

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with paint touch-ups on high-end collector pieces? I recently purchased a vinyl Godzilla figure from a Japanese Seller on eBay and it came with a bit of white paint 'slop' I'd like to cover up/fix. I'm just not sure if there's a particular paint brand or type I should try and use. I'd assume acrylic, but then what? Vallejo? Citadel Base Paints for miniatures? Or should I try and 'rub' the paint off with a dull needle? Anyone have any experience with this? 8)

I'd appreciate any related thoughts on the matter as well. Thank you!

If its a high end collectible like you say...touching it up or fixing it will further depreciate whatever value it has left. Is this item new or used and played with? I would leave it the way it is for now.
