There are some spots where bare metal is showing, and the decals are a bit worse for wear in place. Any tips on what to do with bare metal? I was thinking just some clear over the area rather than match the paint.
I've had pretty good luck with either mixing Testor's model paint to match, or finding a close enough color in nail polish. You could just do clear, or some people don't bother with it at all and simply give it an occasional good coat of wax.
