Paint chipped off the air rifle
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2024 9:43 pm
I noticed a dark brownish spot on the lower part of the trigger area, the day my Precihole Athena arrived.
Gave it a light rub with my thumb and the paint scraped off from that part.
Should I go for a replacement or just grit, degrease, clean and paint over with nail polish over the area. And call it day?
My 2 major concerns are:
1) Will the nail polish hold up
2) Can there be other areas where the gun could have been affected (i.e. inside the rifle, outside seems to be otherwise crystal clean)
Also for reference this is my first air rifle, so I thought it is better to resolve this with some more experienced folks on the forum.
