Posted by Mount This Fish Company on Sep 17th 2024
At Mount This Fish Company, we understand that over time, even the most cherished fish replicas can show signs of wear and tear. Whether it's broken fins, cracked bills, or faded paint, these damages may make your once-pristine piece lose its luster. But instead of discarding these valuable mementos, we offer a professional restoration service to bring them back to life.
Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process:
1. Careful Cleaning & Surface Preparation
We begin by removing any old paint, residue, adhesives, or failed repair attempts. This ensures we start with a clean surface, ready for expert restoration.
2. Fin Replacement or Repair
If your replica has broken or damaged fins, we either replace them with new ones or carefully repair the existing fins, depending on the condition.
3. Assembling the Replica
After repairing or replacing necessary components, we assemble the replica, ensuring it is fully prepped for the next phase: painting.
4. Repainting & Finishing Touches
Our skilled artisans meticulously repaint the replica, matching its original colors and details with precision. By the time we finish, your replica will look brand new to the untrained eye and will be ready to last for many more years.
