Hello, it’s my first time posting here.
I recently acquired an emerald emperor dragon that has a couple flea-bite chips on him; nothing major, but I am interested in touching them up. Does anyone have any brand/color suggestions for touching up spots on the darkest and medium shades of green on an emerald Windstone?
August 26, 2014 at 6:23 am #917948Oh no! I’m guessing this was the one I sold you on eBay – I was sure he was fine going in! I looked him all over before I sent him. I admit I’d never shipped an Emp before though. Does bubble wrap cause that sort of thing??
If you want, I can mail you the paint I used to colour match his flea bites when he first came to me. 🙂 It’s Testors brand, metallic “Emerald” green.
August 26, 2014 at 6:41 pm #917978Hey, cool to see you here :D. It was the same Emperor. I’m not sure if the bubble wrap is to blame? When I was unpacking him, he did slip in my grip a little and my nails did scrape against him, so I blame missing paint on his left hand on that. I later noticed a little paint missing on his left brow.
Thanks for the offer! I don’t know where to buy testors around here anymore (All our hobby shops closed down) so if you want to send it, that’d be awesome :D. Is testors paint still enamel based?
August 26, 2014 at 10:25 pm #917988I have a really good match for emerald. It’s an airbrush paint from Michaels called Pearl Green and the brand is Createx. Sometimes I will add a few drops of metallic gold depending on the color variation and mix it to match.

It’s enamel based… at least, is says “enamel” right on the bottle so I’m guessing that’s what you meant, haha.
June 3, 2015 at 9:32 pm #930342I thought enamel based paints were no-nos for Windstones because the paint does not allow the sculpt to breathe and the paint can flake off like a sunburn later
June 4, 2015 at 9:52 pm #930433I don’t think it’s enamel based. It’s airbrush paint.
