What have you tried on the yellow marks? Are they something actually stuck to the pony, or is it actually a yellowing of the plastic?
Good for restoring!Leave a Whisper finds the main tutorial, but it's more for re-hairing and broken ones--so it'll work for fixing her hair which I think isDollyhair WysteriaDollyhair...looking like Gusty's color? Sea NymphIf I am correct, the colors will be exact-match because DH generally is if you choose correctly.To get rid of the yellowing you can:Use the BACK (non sharp side) of an xacto to gently rasp them awayUse fine grit sand paper to sand them awayThe yellowing is generally caused by too much sun light. It actually transforms the 'skin' top layer to that nasty yellowish color. The only way to rid of it is to sand off or scrape off her skin. This discoloration is actually pretty thin though in most cases so it shouldn't take much / won't dent her to do it.Feet scuffs: At Michaels or other craft store look over the little bottles of acrylic paints by stuff like Apple Barrel, Martha Stewart, Craftsmart & those sorts which have zillions of pre mixed colors. Bring Beauty with you too...you can likely pick a bottle for a dollar that's reeeeely close match so you don't have to deal with mixing. Then, just brush a couple coats over the scratch areas. GL with your restoration (and when you do, surely post pics or something here!) I love DBs!
I found some fine grit sandpaper laying around, and this is how she turned out!visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe's already looking better, thank you for the advice! I'll post updates as I restore her. I'm also hoping to go to Michael's soon, maybe tonight, to pick up paint.

Do you know what grit of sand paper you used? Was it 220, 320, etc?Thanks!
