Scratch repair

Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:28 pm

I have a small scratch on the metalwork of my TX200. Suggestions for touch up that is a good match please.
Thought about the Birchwood Casey touch up pen but, from what I have read, it's not a great colour match.

I've used the same touch up pen on a Weihrauch... didn't like the result - too blue - so went over the top with a black permanent marker. It's a better colour but I don't think either offer any rust protection.

Very difficult to get a match. You may need to repeat the bluing a few times and use plent of oil afterwards
