    So its been pretty much almost a year since I've had my M15x and obviously with use, it starts to show some wear as well, specifically around the top screen corners and the front corners of the speakers, so I was wondering is there any way to apply a certain type of paint to touch it up to get rid of the paint chip marks?

    I needed my screen replaced a week ago and was really hoping that they would change the whole lid as well, guess I was wrong :p

    I know people have dont paint jobs before e.g inap and a few others so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

    the thing with touching up is it won't look super clean, as in you will see where u touched it up. if you want the stock color, i recommend just buying another stock case and just swap it. around $100 for top and bottom casing.
