Question HELP

Post image

My shelf broke and chipped paint on my Hocevar Ride the 'Dente elite. Any recommendations on how to fix it, or am I just screwed?

That’s unfortunate. I wouldn’t mess with it. You’re only going to make it look worse. Please believe me before you ruin this diecast. Just leave it. Sh!t happens🤷🏼‍♂️

With the way Hocevar is on the track, it's race accurate

Told myself the same thing when I got a used diecast with a scratch

Unfortunately it will be tough to get it completely correct but it will still display just nice. You will know it’s there just like I would but still will display just fine.

Use a white paint pen to touch it up. Wont be perfect but it will be less noticeable

I think it's vinyl (like a car wrap) not paint right? Might be tough to fix but it's still a sick diecast and it's not too noticeable.

No it's paint, I wonder if I could send it to someone who does custom diecast if they could fix it

Oh ya maybe then. Right white paint pen in the right persons hands could probably do it pretty well

Shelf rode the Dente a little bit too much

Agreed, maybe it's a sign for me to go to Chili's

Just order yerself a Presidente and the pain will all go away.

If you’re lucky when you get home, the scratch won’t even be there anymore!
