Acrylic paint, a steady hand, and a small paint brush.  I also put a gloss medium over the top after it dried.  It's not perfect, but I think I did pretty well:)

WOW!

What a restore! This thread makes me never want to think something is trash again. I thought for sure this girl was un-restorable. I am so thrilled you could bring her back to life  I sold her as a bait because I really thought the only way she would come back is as a custom. Amazing work and congrats on a great pony 

Thank you so much for selling her to me!  She still has her neck cracks and some scuffing that's only noticeable up close, but definitely not bait;)

Wow, that Mimic went from being a twitchy crackhead on the streets to being Elizabeth Taylor ... It's amazing what good hygiene will do for a pony.

She did turn out beautiful though! Awesome job! Her eyes are far less noticeable with the new makeover.

She's the Lindsay Lohan of Mimics  I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!


She looks utterly fantastic rainbowstars, I think you made all the best choices in your restore attempts! I especially like what you did with her eyes, making them glossy looking again And your symbol painting is lovely too. Someone will be so excited to make her the pride of their collection, thanks to you!
