[QUOTE="stracci, post: 4485810, member: 13814"]I'm so glad you approve!!! 'Cause you are the authority on this stuff! The filler material is a wall patch product called Rock Hard. It is a powder that you mix with water to create a putty. But I mix it with white glue instead. (Elmer's). It dries up super hard. It works so well for projects like this. I used acrylic paint for the touch up. I had to play around with the white, adding some blue and brown to mimic the enamel color. I also used a metallic gold for the detail but the color wasn't quite right, so I added a bit of orange to make it darker.
