I can’t help you with any painting tips but I have used wraps before on some mods.This may be an option?

The ones I bought for a Vapor shark was about the thickness of painters tape.I was pleased with how well it worked although it is a little slippery feeling , it doesn’t offer much grip.

More than dings, e-juice causes finishes to fail. Silicone sleeves trap e-juice and hold it against the finish, so still not a real solution. The wraps can be replaced and offer so many looks …cool. Either way, I have found if you get 6 months of daily use, you’re lucky

I gotta go with @BoyHowdy and also suggest a wrap. I have a snake skin one on my cuboid and the rough texture gives me a better grip than the smooth wraps. The cuboid is a pretty straight forward shape so I went on ebay and bought a sample of the skin I wanted for a couple of bucks and it worked out nice. If you’re not handy with an exacto knife I’d recommend a ready made wrap for your specific mod.

I was just checking out this a few days ago one of my wismec 2/3 has a bit of a scratch and it mucks with my ocd. Some of them look pretty cool

If you want to get girly with it - use nail polish. Clean the spot off good first with alcohol.
If you want to get crafty, (and spend more) go to Hobby Lobby and get a teeny tiny bottle of Testors Metal Paint (The kind they use on model airplanes) use a very small brush or even rolling up a paper towel between your fingers to make the fake brush as small as the head of a pin to use for brush.
Take the mod with you to match the paint perfectly, all colors are not created equal.

I’m thinking mask, sandblast, and air spray

I was thinking the same thing! My daughters paint everything with nail polish. It can stay on things for quite a while!

So funny to see this as a suggestion! I was just thinking of dolling up my mod with my nail art paints and swirly designs, and then I read your post.
But for the purposes of fixing up a white kbox, your suggestion of the Testors Metal Paint is probably the better bet to get a match. if I recall correctly the kbox is a matte white - most nail polishes are glossy. Matching the finish is just as important as matching the shade!

We don’t want nail polish, YUCK! Ever heard of Rhino Truck Bed Liner? that would make it a nice texture.

Probably good for a winterized mod - less slipping from gloved hands!
