What's the best way to touch up case scratches?

[bulwark]

So lets assume I got no skills...and only the most basic of tools...what would be the best way to touch up some small scratches on my black case? I was thinking about those paint touch-up pens they sell for cars, but I'm not sure if there would be ne problems with that.

Easiest? Black marker. ;)

lol why didn't I think of that :oops:

Question most unnoticable/reliable touch up???

well on my TJ05 it's a 1 inch long line...like someone took their keys and scratched it...so I guess marker is fine for that...on my Antec Sonata though, I have a lot of hair-thin scratches and I think if I used a black marker for those...it'll stand out a lot.

Are you being serious? lol.

I would reccommend Using something black.

Also if you keep the lights off in the room perminantly you will save on electricity and no one will ever know b/c they cant see it.

Or Scratch off all the black crap, It might look cool.

lol.sorry. Ya I would try the marker.

lol...ask a stupid question... :roll:

just never occured to me it'd be that simple...I thought I'd have to worry about matching shades of black lol which is why I mentioned the paint touch-up pens they sell for cars. ....oh well...now I know better . :D

well sadly the marker idea didn't work....just end up with a slightly less visible steel-coloured line...so what's the next best option?

[digitalwanderer]

Black modelling paint or fingernail polish.

[bulwark]

will any black modelling paint do? or will some look flat compared to the rest of the case?

Get one to match, that's why I recomended modelling paint. They have a huge variety of blacks to choose from.

Glossy, flat, satin; you name it. What kind of finish does your case have now?

[bulwark]

glossy...it's just the kind of black u'd find on an Antec Sonata, or TJ-05
