    Default MP-17 Prowl paint issue

    Hi, I bought my first Masterpiece and I'm a bit bummed it has a slight paint problem. It's quite minor and not really visible in robot mode, but stands out a bit in vehicle mode. The paint seems to have yellowed and is a bit bubbly or spotty, in one spot on the left hand door. I've attached some pictures.

    Is this something that can be remedied? I bought it sealed in the box privately off someone so I don't know what options I have in terms of returning etc.

    thanks

    Sorry it says I can't post attachments in the rules at the bottom, is this a kind of 'ranking' thing?

    If it's a surface blemish you can probably buff it out with some car polish or even toothpaste.

    If it's sealed in box, most likely no return. Unless the seller can still get a replacement, highly unlikely.

    This is not a KO would it? As the new knock off are identical boxes as in finish.

    wow that pretty bad ....look at the bleed on the black line of the door ~! and the word as well.... if it just on top of the paint job then u can try alcohol base wipe and wipe it of , becarful not rub the black or the white paint off...but it looks like it eaten thru the paint , so you can only sand it down and repaint it... but white is one of the hardest to match

    I like to know where he bought this as it doesn't seem like the original.

    Actually the KO looks pretty real original as well and this is definitely a defect.

    If he bought it from a know Japanese online store, they would compensate a bit.
