I recently unboxed my Hot Toys MK IV + Gantry and discovered the helmet has some minor but annoying paint flaws.
There is some black overpaint on the lower 'lip' from the panel join infill. It's quite noticeable as the eye is naturally drawn to the head of the figure. I'm wondering if the black could be gently removed (abrasively or chemically) while leaving the gold intact? Also not sure if there is a clear coat layer to consider?
There's a minor scuff to the gold paint on the forehead also but it's barely noticeable. Can these marks be 'buffed out' or is that a bad idea?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
