Paint pen to touch up anodized parts?

Post by **twinrider1** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:02 pm

I've slowly been cleaning parts. Right now I have a clean, but very scratched up Hot Trick Stuff nose plate.

Has anyone used a paint pen (or paint in any form) to touch up anodized chassis bits?
Just leave the battle scars to be admired?
Or paint it up to give it that 10ft beauty look. As in, she's beautiful as long as you don't come closer than 10'.

I'm leaning towards trying the paint. It's already gouged up so I'm not really hurting it.

Black sharpie works pretty well on black anno....I'd try a red sharpie

This one is gold anodized. A lot of shades of gold out there, so there will be some experimentation. Might paint the screw heads too. Pimp my gold pan.
