The sculpture was first washed and sanded to smooth the hard edges of areas with missing paint or chipping. Areas with large holes or gashes were filled in with white caulk. This allowed the new paint to blend in more subtly with the original paint layer.

OnAim retouched the paint using acrylic paint medium, clean water, and various sized brushes. OnAim was conscious not to obscure the original brushwork and diligent about matching the original look. Once the retouching was complete, a final protective layer was applied.
