Calling all DIY paint expert and anyone with the information!
My new Scarlet-W bumped with a MacBook Pro and the paint chipped a little exposing the shiny aluminum underneath..
The S-W's original finishing is very thick & strong but the aluminum MacBooks are quite sharp at the edges and the angle of impact was just right to chisel the paint off a bit.

I wonder what specific paint that I could use to fix it?
I tried looking at local DIY store but they didn't seem to have this awesome 'Battleship Gray' spray paint..
Maybe RED are using a special blend of custom paint, or a specific brand?

Any info would be highly appreciated! :)
 
I suggest just leaving it alone. Unless you're an expert at dis and reassembly trying to spray paint the body has major potential to ruin the sensor and internal components. Plus scuff marks give it a used grungy look that's likely to happen anyways. Gives it character if you will. ;)

Thanks Zachary! After a couple of days and reading your wisdom, I finally begin to accept it that way.. My S-W is one month old on this day and the scuff marks actually wasn't that bad for a daily battle machine who almost fights everyday.. It's a tank! Not meant to be kept in a box :)
