Carousel Maintenance and Touchup

Solid Colors are Harder to Touch Up
If They Have Large Areas of Wear

A new figure on the Carousel for Missuola

It is better to fill, sand, then prime the wear spots. Then lightly sand the entire color area and repaint.

This is due to the normal oxidation of paint and the effect of the UV rays. The same color originally applied will not match one season later.

You will have to learn how to mix some colors to original paint to match even the smaller spots or nicks.
