Touch up paint for MTH steam engines

I have always use ScaleCoat. I have even painted over all the bright tires and axle centers of all my steam locomotive models, by brushing ScaleCoat Loco Black.

To touch up small blems on black steam locos I use a Sharpie permanent marker pen.  Carefully cover just the area needed and very hard to see the repair. They also make silver and gold Sharpie's I use for the same process when needed.

Thanks Jack. I will give the Scalecoat 1 product line a shot. I see they have touch up pens.

The marks I'm trying to touch up are as big as 1/4" x 1/8". IMO black sharpie tends to look a bit purple when too much is used on black paint.

I've used a sharpie on finishes that aren't glossy.  On glossy finishes, you can sometimes find touch-up paint at an auto parts store.  I've had good luck with black.  Some have a dual applicator - one is a point, the other is a small brush.  Won't be perfect, but you might be able to come close enough.  The touch up vials cost around $5-7, so it doesn't break your wallet if it doesn't work.

Thanks for the SHARPIE tip!!

Yea.....that's why I use them on 'small blems' yours sound more like a complete repaint if you have many areas of paint loss that big on a single loco. Good luck either way.
