Is there anyway to fix pic related. I have OCD and it's annoying the fuck out of me. I got the piece for free but it's an expensive piece to replace and I can't paint for shit. Any ideas or do I just have to succumb to the torment and wait until I stop noticing it?

well, looks like you already answered your own question
>>5701471
A there's no other way?
>>5701481
*so
>>5701481
Short of you touching it up yourself
Yes

Go to a hobby store with the piece
Compare paints till you get one that matches
Buy that paint and a micro brush
Dip the micro brush in the paint, then dip it in water. Wait a few seconds, apply paint. Repeat until you are happy with the results
This is not hard

Looking through my paint supplies, I found the perfect hue, buts it's all dried up. Fuck.
Make him wear a sweater Op. Out of sight, out of mind.
So regardless of my criminally bad skills and unsteady hand I painted it with an obviously lighter hue. Is there anyway to darken it to suit?

Oh my god lmfao you should've just did what that anon told you to do with the acetone it actually works
You just made it worse

I didn't want to make it any worse, the colour is brighter from the picture.

My god, just stop for now. Take a breather. Wait a while. Gather your thoughts. Take a trip to a crafts store and get the right color. What you're doing now is equivalent to getting a huge gash in your car and being so impatient that you start using home interior paint to cover it.
OP reporting in.
I've gotten rid of the light blue paint and began to do the acetone pulling in technique but I could see signs of thining around the afflicted area so stopped. I'll probably end up leaving it then or painting or getting someone to do if for me (naturally unsteady hands).
Apologies for the bad pic; bad camera
Goto a table top game store, buy Games Workshop Space Wolf Grey and use that.

this
but get a wife beater tank instead
>>5701481
Have you tried licking it?
>>5701887
Yeah pham
To get a perfect gray blue you op would need bottles of white, black, blue, green and red. So go buy a gray gundam marker, a black one and a masking tape and repaint the whole thing. Try not to cry, then cry a lot.
