Code 3 X-wing parts paint chip fix help

gagaliya · 11-01-2011, 03:21 AM

Hi guys, does anyone have some advice for a newbie on how to go about fixing those paint chips in the photo. I received a perfectly good code 3 x-wing unfortunately the accessories box wasnt packaged well and all the parts fell out and got chipped during shipping

Also do you guys have some recommendations of experts on this forum who might be interested in taking a commission work to fix this for me instead? it's a small box so should be relatively easy to ship.

I am a collector not a custom guy, so really not sure where to even begin getting this fixed.

any advice is appreciated, thanks!

2 ways i suppose......touch up with paint...obvious, or sand, prime then repaint to get rid of the divots the chips have made....

Either that or send it back?
