Fixing Paint Scuffs

[Concavenator]

I have a Safari (2017) Tyrannosaurus that has paint scuffs all over. It's a figure that will never stand and because of that and all the times it's fallen over (and also because it's hefty) it's gotten white scuffs that are very annoying. My Eofauna Atlasaurus also has a paint scuff (a small scuff on the snout), since I unpacked it  and it bugs me as well. If there was a way I could touch these up to make the scuffs look less noticeable I would be interested. All I currently have when it comes to paint are just marker pens but I doubt these would be an option. Any advice?

I would like to fix these, because those two are of course some of the best figures in my collection. Specially I would like to fix the T.rex, all of my Safari figures that are on display with it on the shelf are pristine, and then there's the T.rex with white scuffs all over (and they're very noticeable since it has the fiery red plumage)

You maybe able to fix it with ease, but it depends on the area. Can you show a picture

Use watered down acrylic paints. This way you can slowly build it up with thin layers until you're happy. Very easy to do and basically fool-proof.

@Stegotyranno I don't know how to post pics now. I used to use Photobucket, but it doesn't work anymore. I have no clue how can I post pics now.

P @PumperKrickel so I would need to get a brush and acrylics, and then take a bowl with water and mix the acrylics there? Is that what you are trying to say?

Pretty much. I would probably mix the acrylics in the bowl and have a glass of water next to it. You won't need much water, it's basically enough if the brush is a little wet, but not dripping. The acrylics don't need to be fancy, cheap stuff will do. Make sure you have tissues or an old towel or something ready to remove excess paint if necessary.

Mix the acrylics?  I had just thought of using red paint for the Tyrannosaurus and blue paint for the Atlasaurus' snout. Why would you mix the colors?

[PumperKrickel]

Why would you mix the colors?

To get a closer match to the original colors. Not strictly a necessary step with this technique, but most colors are a little too vibrant out of the tube and need to be darkened or muted a bit. Just do what feels right.

Because the red or blue paint you buy may not match the model's paint job straight out of the tube. You may need to add white or another color to get a match. It's a good idea to paint some test swatches on paper before you paint the model, just so you can see what the color looks like when it's dry.

Alright, thank you to both of you!
