LOTRfan - Thanks for the pics. talked with the seller. gonna get some pictures for him. he stated he didn't see anything before shipping it off and he did inspect it. so hopefully i'll be able to get some cash back or something.

I think you could easily touch those spots up, hard to see anything wrong with the horn though.

Well the black would not be hard at all with just a flat black acrylic paint but the red I know is not a full fledged red and might need some mixing with some white, other than that a small tiny paint brush.

thx! do you happen to know the procedures taken to paint a SS piece? do they hand brush these or use an air brush?

I'm not really sure on that particular piece, but as long as it's not a shiny metallic coat... I would think hand would be all right in touching things up.

WTF?
Did the seller say it was mint and one of the horns arrived broken?

yup, said there was no issues with it. how in the world can you not see these issues. I understand minor, but they stick out like a sore thumb.

I still think it will be worth keeping the piece. If u can live with the damage, ask for a partial refund.

Yeah most likely ask for a partial refund. How much do you think would be reasonable?

I didn't know that was a break on the horns it's hard to tell from sitting right on top of it, I guess if the pics were taken from the side I could tell better.
Yeah, mine had a SMALL area with a brighter red just like yours..... Looks identical. But I would say that it's nothing to sweat over. I almost had a replacement sent by SS when I first got this, but wasn't really worth the hassle as even the NEXT piece sent to me may have had a TINY imperfection as well.....
But congrats on the piece!

thanks! just kinda bugs me that it's on the nose, kind of the focal point. the side not too much, as well as the horns. do you have any idea how much it would cost to have those touched up or a reasonable price to ask for? thanks chris!
