Day 90 — A Scratch No More

The first photo is the left hand side of the steering wheel. You'll notice a tiny chip or scratch in the surface finish. Naturally, I didn't want to live with that imperfection, so I decided to fix it.


The second photo shows the product I used. This is a transparent water-based acrylic paint that you can find online or at most art supply stores. There are several brands, but I've used this one in my wildlife paintings to create shadows. It works great because it's transparent and doesn't cover the detail below it. 

Look at the third photo and check out how it worked for this application. It appears that Number 12 Medium Gray is a perfect Mustang match.

That's it. The scratch is gone and life is good once again.
