Author Topic: Is there such a thing as Platter "Touch-Up Paint" Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-10-2003 11:23 AM                        I just bought a Strong AP3 platter for our booth at the drive-in, and there's a couple of deep scratches on the back of the column. The scratches go all the way through the paint down to the red primer. Is there such a thing as "Platter Touch Up Paint" or should I even worry about such a thing? As much as I paid for the thing, I at least want it to look good.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-10-2003 02:16 PM                        Have you contacted Pat Moore at Strong? They may be able to sell you some of the paint. Is it similar color to an automobile, so you could use auto touch-up paint?  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

If it's the older Strong that's silver gray, then use Hammerite # 41105 spray paint. These are normal stock paints in the spray paint section at Home Depot.  |  IP: Logged
