    Well I accidently scratched a bit of the metal on the back of the lid, is there any sort of solution to fix it? Maybe some sort of paint to paint over it or something? Thanks :)

    who knows... got a pic?

    Maybe one of those colored car waxes would do the trick ;) Perm marker? If forced to paint (say with touch up paint or testers) then a single strand following the trough might do the trick.

    A what the heck do I know. Never had this problem! :(
