Well my E4 Kane's stitches seem to be chipping like crazy and its apparent that the paint wasn't sealed correctly. Either they use a cheap sealant or are missing spots/ not doing a thick enough coat.
Either way its making me want to quit figures, this has happened to me multiple times. My Heath Slaters tatoo chipped right off a few months back. Things just scratching right off, most of the logo is gone.
How can i touch him up?
Anyone else having this problem?

My Elite 1 MVP was like this. His "M" on his back was chipping like crazy, I just got a tooth pick and some paint and did a touch-up myself. I don't know if it really counts as a sealer but I like to use clear nail polish and it always holds for me. It also leaves the figures playable  . |

Clear nail polish is def a sealant, better than anything matty is using! I need to find some paint that matches Kane's deco, toothpick will work great for these thing designs! When you apply the nail polish, do you use a toothpick too? |

This happened to my DM "Macho Man" Randy Savage, the first time I tried to take his sunglasses off with my thumb all of the purple on the right side came right off, So I mixed some paint and re-painted it.

I never have this problem, as I don't open my figures.

The only Mattel figure I've had paint chipping problems with is Bam Bam Bigelow. One of the flames on his chest started to chip.

Acrylic paint would be great for repainting.

Mattel's QC problems are many.
I've seen several Kanes with chipped paint on his stitches!

I've had this happen a bunch of times. B12 ADR and B10 Ryder just off the top of my head. It's frustrating as hell because you can't see the back of the trunks until its open and too late. I completely repainted my Mania Heritage Punk because it was chipped all over on the trunks and boots. It's annoying and I wish Mattel would figure it out because figures are getting too expensive to just buy again because of paint app issues.
