Lots of people really enjoy learning how to restore them.  For many of us, it's part of WHY we collect, not just to have ponies!   I am sure someone will come to this thread and give you an estimate of their costs.  :)  Personally I wouldn't pay someone to clean up my ponies but that's because it would devalue the 10 years of experience I have gained from being a part of the community.  :)

Many customizers also do restorations; more skilled restorations (like resculpts and repaints) will cost more and you'll want to be sure that the artist does work of a quality that you would be happy with, particularly if your ponies are HTF.  I know I am super-picky about precise paintwork that looks as close to factory as possible :) .

I'm pretty sure Sunshine offers her services, deflocks and rehairs I think mostly?

What type(s) of restoration are you needing?

I greatly enjoy it. :)

Thanks for the info guys! I mostly need some cutie marks touched up. I'm pretty terrible at painting. I'm sure I can do the basic cleaning and detangling the hair. But I'm too afraid to ruin my pony with a bad paint job.

I am going to move this over to Customs for you :)

If it is something like fixing paint then you will probably get the most help over there - either to do it yourself or people who will take on a commission.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
