looking for your thoughts, opinions, solutions, etc.

Battle scars are cool. I say leave them. Or any of the above remedies will help to alleviate the unsightly scratches.

Do you want to look like a cool action photographer or not? I'd keep the scars. Always conversation starters.

Why the need to fix them?

I agree, leave it as it its. shows how much you actually USE your camera

Nice battlescars. No need to fix them.

do you know which one would work best out of what i have listed?

I bet you could photoshop that right out in seconds

Paint would leave a ridge. Sharpies would be better .. and all you need to do is take your eye away from the lighter colour.

no matter what you put on there it wont look right unless you replace that piece

esspee1200,
It doesn't affect photos or the operation of the camera, so my suggestion is spend the time using it instead of wondering how to make the tool look better....

As long as it shoots straight, who cares about the scratches? All that matters are the pictures! However if you are insistant on trying I would use a commercial perm. marker.

no point in fixing it cuz whatever you do, the damage will just come back (paint fade and through use). let it be....

There is nothing you can do to fix that.

black sharpie will help a little, but the black tends to turn a little purple after a while. Not a big deal and it would probably make it less visible. I wouldn't worry about it though.
