haha, nub marks on titanium finish....I had nightmare for few days the first time I did a titanium kits tongue.gif

My best effort is to get a marker color that look similiar to the surface and try to cover it. And try to make the nub marks as small as possible. blush.gif

I guess it is quite challenging to deal with nub mark in titanium, any pros can enlighten us ? rclxms.gif

my advice, stay clear of titanium kits tongue.gif better if you grab some paint, and candy coat/metallic paint the kit, looks better, plus before painting you'll have sanded off all the nub marks, so your kit will be clean AND shiny brows.gif

YES !! , I learn that in the hard way, after go into Painting with the option to pick what kind of titanium style you like, i never look back.
Although time spend on a single kits is longer, but the end result is far more stratifying rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Well, the result actually is still not good, but what I do is try to use art knife to slowly cut the part and make the nub smallest possible, and then try to find the marker color that is closest to the part and apply on it. I use marker and mix a little thinner and attempt to make the colour match. blush.gif

It is still noticeable if look closer and carefully. I have moved toward to painting and now working to make all my future kits metalic tongue.gif
