Touch-up Question

I carry these in the truck with me to touch-up small spots in trim and paint from the inevitable dings that life brings them:

Bill if this is something that is not greatly noticeable and you got a good deal on it you might want to do something I do with a chipped dish. Our dishes are black and bright white under the outer coating.

If you have heavy black accents.... Add another accent and color it in with a black sharpy pen. Works for me. and if you don't like it you can still proceed with a more involved repair.

I got a lot of good suggestions. Thank you. I'll try a little wood filler where the wood is missing, and buy some model paint, and get out my black Sharpy. And I'll practice first! All good ideas.

I got the frame for $70 +10% at the auction. I'm sure it would be at least several times that in a store. It will look just as good as a new one, maybe better, after it's touched up...and it will have "character"! : )

If you're planning on painting over the repair, then you could just as easily use some Bondo to fill the damaged area. It's cheap and it doesn't shrink.

A good source of color matching is a box of 64 Crayola crayons.

Elitist!

A box of 16 or 24 crayons lends to building more character, though!
