So I got the Tamiya paint in that Horizon recommends to touch up the plastic if the paint chips. Its a bit darker than the kit paint. Its really hard to get good pics in my shop so the camera makes it look worse than it is so it doesn't look that bad from a few feet away. I just touched up the edges and it kinda gives a weathered look like its a panel or something. At least on the side where I just needed to touch-up the edges. On the other side, the big missing paint blob where the tape pulled it off is still a bit unsightly. I guess we'll see what happens long term.



The Tamiya paint is darker so the big blob still stands out somewhat.




The touch-up around the edges doesn't look too bad. The camera makes it look more noticeable than it is.
