[ARC5] Touch Up Paint

[Robert Eleazer]

John:

I don't think there is any such thing as gloss or semi-gloss wrinkle paint.  There is just wrinkle paint, as far as I know based on my long and mostly unsuccessful attempts to use the stuff.  It looks shiner when new than when old.

In any case, your problem is to match what the equipment looks like now.
Probably a semigloss will be better but I have even heard people say a black "magic marker" gives good results for touch up over very small areas.

By the way, speaking of wrinkle paint, I recently was able to get pretty good results using VHT wrinkle paint when I painted a case for a new piece of equipment I am building (a rocket motor firing panel).  I had found the VHT to be unsuitable for repainting a BC-348, where a thick coating was not usable due to the need to preserve the markings.  But for the equipment case I had no such worries and the VHT did not do too badly when applied thickly.
