touching up battle scars...
A long time ago, I found markers at an artist's supply store that came in every color imgainable and were of a formula that dried glossy - not matte finish like a Sharpie... Other than something like that or actual touch-up painting with model paint, it might be scarred for life. This isn't a bad thing, it just is another story in the life of the washer. | ||

Hi John, Thanks for the offer but I've used up too many consoles already!! ;-) Greg, thanks for the advice. Is model paint available in a glossy, non-aerosol brushable version? | ||

Austin, Condolances on what must have been a painful accident. I hope the damage was not terrible. Yikes! Bobby in Boston | ||

been there
had my mom crunch the hood on my car and last year she chipped 2 of my other toys, oh well.. but i find good colors and everything i need at the hobby shop. have used the paints that kids use on those model car kits.. they work just fine just have to prep the surface. and for scratches on fake wood grain several tones of brown and black and some thinner work great. sort of like faux finish on walls or furniture just on a smaller scale

touch up I would not try to repaint, but just "touch-up", the damage may still show but will be subtle ....... | ||
