I have a black painted original cygnet horn with lack of paint, but I don't want to repaint (see the photo). How to restaure this horn ?

I don't see how you can possibly "restore" your Cygnet bell unless you apply some paint. I'd suggest you post a photo so we could more accurately judge its present condition. Jerry Blais

Re: lack of paint of a cygnet horn
Personally if the horn pictured were mine I would not do any painting, Other than a few minor scratches it looks like a nice original painted horn. I would just do some light cleaning and wax.patrick_l wrote:I have a black painted original cygnet horn with lack of paint, but I don't want to repaint (see the photo). How to restaure this horn ?

Re: lack of paint of a cygnet horn
I agree with Larry. If the bright metal distracts you too much you could try to fill these areas with a black permanent pen, let it dry and then polish it lightly with WD40. That hides the scratches somewhat, at least from a distance, and is completely reversable.
Good luck

Thank you
Black permanent pen, type ?? http://www.sharpie.com >> model ??
Polish with WD40, OK.
And how do I do with wax? What kind of wax, user manual, etc.

WD-40 is not polish.

Re: lack of paint of a cygnet horn
Sorry, should have said to slightly wipe it down with WD40 in order to soften the difference between the paint and the permanent pen. Sharpie should work I think. Like I said this is not a permanent repair, but will hide the bright metal a bit.
