Paint on PRS-500 Scratched

mahler · 09-01-2009, 04:46 PM

I just dropped my e-reader on the cement, after a few panic-stricken moments I realized the reader still worked, but now there are a few knicks/scratches on it.

I tried using a sharpie (permanent felt pen) to paint in the scratches, but it wore off after a few hours.

Any Ideas?

Wow! You were very lucky that nothing much happened other than a few scratches! I don't have any experience with covering up the scratches. I probably would have used a permanent marker also. Maybe get a die cast model paint since they come in small bottles and try that?

@dreams, that's a great idea! I'll try it and let you know how it goes.
