    Loved this Thelma! Don't know how many times I junked nice pieces because of discolored ware. I have had these pens for art. Never thought I could have spared some cool stuff.

    I also use Sally Hanson nail polish - have about 50 colors and chromes. Only polish where smell is gone in a few days, and once painted on will not come off. Marvelous for any color items. So glad to see someone else does touch ups. I will be getting those metal paint markers right away. Will join your sites. I nneed all the help I can get. Thank you.

    Thank you for taking the time to post this video Thelma. It made me realise that I could try and use Rub & Buff to restore a lovely watch that my (now ex) husband bought me in 1991. The gold has worn on the outer surface of the band yet the underside which was in constant contact with my skin is perfect. I'm wondering if it was due to a suede jacket I used to wear a lot back then and the drycleaning chemicals from it rubbing on the watch. Jewellers have refused to help and if Citizen (the manufacturer) would do it I'm sure it would cost a fortune. I'm nearly 70 and would like to wear it again so I'm giving it a try. Thanks for the inspiration xx

      Cecilia, my grandma passed on her jewelry to all of us granddaughters. She left a note with a little bit of the history on each piece. Some of the notes said things like "Bought in France with your Gramps. He griped about the price but I got it anyway". "Wore these to the Grammy's in 1980." "Found in a pawn shop in Vegas and wore this during the birth of my 2nd child." "Found this Chanel at a flea market in Texas for $2 bucks!" Or one of my faves: "Not worth much, but I wore it to all of your Mom's baby showers". It made each piece so much special to know all of these details, even if it wasn't a typically "valuable" piece to someone else! Just an idea! ❤

    If it doesn't dry too fast I would dab some on a flat surface and mix a couple tones together to get closer to actual color. I think it would look better.

    Have you tried seeing how well it’s really applying? Like rubbing water on, does it start coming off?
    If it does come off what I think you could add is a top coat to seal the marker.
    I thought about dumping a bunch of matching pieces in a gold or silver plating tank.

    I need some help. I would like to know the name of the painting pens you use. I need to touch up some of my pins where the gold or silver tone overlay has rubbed off from age and use. I have never done this before and some of the pins are 60+ old.
    Thank you.
