Touch up paint for black mk2 side panels?

Managed to bash my new ARmk2 against my metal headphones while carefully putting it away which has created a small chip on the metal side panel :tired_face:

Not a big deal really, all my gear eventually acquires these bits of ā€œpersonalityā€, but I wasn’t quite ready for it yet with this one lol!

It’s only a tiny mark so looks like you could mostly touch it up with some black paint, but I’d hate to make it look worse. Wonder if anyone has any advice on a suitable paint/other substance (or just to leave it!)?

Get some pink paint to cover it up? Or ask Elektron if they send you a tiny bucket? Or a nice sticker?

try black paint

…whenever i don’t wanna see a scratch no more and the box is black…
i pick one of my permanent markers to scratch back…if it’s a shiny surface, i leave it the way it is after paint overs…if it’s not a shiny finish, i dip the fresh markers path with a finger…

this can work but it might not match exactly the paint color on the faceplate so depends if you feel like doing it or not…a quick solution nonetheless

…it will never match the same black…but it’s eyewashing enough and easily…only difference end of the day, will be the reflectiveness…and that can be covered easily by proceeding the way i mentioned…

Yeah tbh this is the way I normally go and I’ll probably do the same, can imagine making it worse trying to fix it! Scuffs show that you actually use it :dark_sunglasses:
