I was wonder what one would use to repair the plastic underneath. While I was doing a repair last night, I accidentally scratched a small piece of white coating under the plastic. So of course when the game is on, you can see a small spec of light shining through the plastic. Would white paint or white out do the fix?

Thanks

In general is there any kind of thread around on how to touch up plastics?

How to repaint the underside and then cover up the repair with a white paint for more significant scratches?

I occasionally spray the bottom of the plastics with white paint, as a way to freshen up the layer and to make it more consistent.

As long as the color layer is intact, a light spray of flat white should fix the issue.
