    Hey guys, I have a VGN-FZ190 and the silver casing on it is showing some wear as of late. I have a few scratch marks on it and there are plenty of spots where it looks like the paint is buffed off. Is there anyway I can go about fixing this without having to tape off everything and put a light coat of spray paint over it? I bought a 3 yr warranty but I doubt something like this is covered under it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I too have the same issues. It doesn't really bother me. And the paint quality in FZ's lid is pretty bad. It is easily getting scratched. There are lots of buffs too.

    ON my VAIO I just put a sticker on it. And for this type of damage not covered by the warranty and will fall under Cosmetic damage.
