    Anyone know of a brand of touch-up paint that's pretty close to the metallic silver used on the m1530's edges and bezel? Mine has small spots here and there that I'd like to hide, once I saw them, I couldn't un-see them.

    Have you looked at automotive touch-up paint?

    ive used that brand of spray paint for RC Cars (as the description mentions). itll work pretty well except itll require a lot of masking since it is a spray paint. i feel like you would be better off with one of those touchup kits for real cars that come in smaller containers with a built in brush though.

    If you're under warranty, just complain in the chat that your touch-pad is unresponsive and they'll be giving you a new palm-rest.
