Renewing a cross

on: November 23, 2015, 11:45:26 AM

No,I've not taken up a new faith

I've had an Elinox Spartan arrive this morning,and it's currently in its de-gunking bath. The paint on the hot stamp cross has completely worn off.

I'm wondering if there's a viable way to paint it make in?

I can't see any modellers paints doing the job,as the cellador is too smooth to get a grip on.

Any ideas?

Scratch with a pin and then use model paint?

Use epoxy paint. Commonly used on household appliances. It takes longer to dry but well worth it.

If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

Epoxy paint will stick to just about anything, and is pretty damn tough.
