djtinylove Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone! Searched the forum for an answer about this, but could not find an answer. So before I read up on the Brasso/ toothpaste/ eraser technique, I made a mistake by trying to remove paint from a torso with a Swiss Army blade (I know, I know bad move) and it left behind some scratches and is no longer glossy. Is this part ruined? Can I use some kind of polish compound to bring back its shine or maybe use a spray clear coat? Thanks so much for the help, truly appreciated :) Edited May 30, 2015 by djtinylove Quote
wendyw Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Clear nail varnish should do it. Clean the piece thoroughly to make sure there's no dirt in the scratches, give it a coat of clear nail varnish and then wipe it right off before it can dry. The bit that remains in the scratches will then dry clear and give the impression of a unscratched piece. I'd have a go with some random old unimportant brick first to see how it dries but that should do the trick. Quote
