How would to I fix this paint app error?
Hey guys I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I've had the Scorn figure for almost a week now and I only just noticed this.
There's a bit of extra silver paint on the "mouth" as you can see from the picture. I was thinking of using a qtip and some rubbing alcohol, or trying to cover it up with a red sharpie. What do you guys think? Thanks for any input

I would just try & take the silver paint off where its in excess. That'd probably work better than drawing on it with a marker hah.

99% isopropal alcohol works great.

If you use the 99% iso, be careful not to get it on transparent plastic (if there is any on that figure) because it makes it brittle.

use the fine side of a nail file. Be gentle, works like a charm.

I have to try this myself with an Alternator Skids. I've read it even removes nail polish.

Re: How would to I fix this paint app error?
I did find a pink eraser but I only had one tiny girly piece which the wife imported from korea or something...
ANYWAY, tried it with a white Staedler one:
As you can see the paint sticks to the eraser bits like a charm.
