Laptop Touch-ups

[Alexqd3]

I have a compaq laptop, and the silver finish on the inside of the laptop is starting to rub off. Is there a products that i can buy to touch it up, cus i only had it for 4 months, and i like to keep my things in good condition just incase i want to sell it for something better. Thank is advance.

BTW how much was your laptop and the only thing i can think of off the top of my head is maybe those model paints. if you werereally careful you might be able to make it look good/better

it was $1500.00

Some oil-based paints will eat away at the polycarbonate apparently (but I'm no paint specialist). I did find one site in a quick Google that painted the iBook - maybe you could use the technique to 'paint' the scratched bits of your laptops?

My averatec laptop looks like this

The paint rubbing off, the 2 scratches on the screen cover (my fault) and the keyboard getting the screen dirty, and this makes this look oldskool.

Wash your hands and if your hands are sweaty wipe them off on your pants or something like that. It is because of oils on your hands and other $hit like that.
