haha, nub marks on titanium finish....I had nightmare for few days the first time I did a titanium kits 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. I guess it is quite challenging to deal with nub mark in titanium, any pros can enlighten us ?

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Jun 26 2013, 10:59 AM) my advice, stay clear of titanium kits  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  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

QUOTE(james83 @ Jun 26 2013, 12:11 PM) so u've actually able to make nub marks on titanium kits become less obvious? how did u do it?  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. 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 This post has been edited by jjaacckk2000: Jun 27 2013, 09:38 AM
