Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] M400 white paint

From: Andy McNeill <andym@sympatico.ca>

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm not looking to do a total repaint yet.  
Need to do one of the side blocks by the keyboard.   

One bottle of Testor's just might do it.  

Anybody else?

I always used Testor's white enamel- it aged in a similar way to the
original paint but they've changed it . I know that epoxy was used from
the factory and you could get some white pigment and mix it with the very
clear slow drying type for touch ups. Epoxy yellows with time.

Boy, how many of those tiny bottles did you need?!

On the serious front: take the case to an auto body shop and have them paint it. You'll get a fantastic job and the paint they use is really rugged.

Or you could go out and get 10,000 tiny bottles of Testor's like Andy.
