This afternoon, I got bored, so I decided to do a little test.

You know those neat little touch-up sticks for your car, so you can remove scratches etc...

I decided to test some of those ( which I had lying around somewhere ) on a model car body.

My findings: they cover quite well, but are rather thick ( some thinning needed ) and dry a bit too fast ...

But.. I see potential here ... especially since they come in colors you can't normally purchase in your local hobby shop.

Best so far: Mazda and Mercedes official sticks.

Worst: probably the Volkswagen/ Audi one ( paint to thick to be usefull rightaway )
