Perhaps get a few of those little tins of Humbrol enamel paints found in hobby shops... and mix n' match 'till you get the correct gold hue?( used for plastic models kits.)
They definitely do make a few metallics, including gold.
Good luck matey. |

Best thing that could happen to it...lol
Sorry but am hating the way so called designers slap their name on a phone and charge a fortune for it...they never designed the phone so why put their name to it for anything other than cash.
Sorry rant over...
Head to a model shop rather than b&q and get them to try and match the colour could always use t-cut to blend it in?
Failing that head into your local "games workshop" they usually have the most extensive range of paints and if feeling nice may have some talented painters in store that could help. |

Hahah well no I am not really gutted I probably would be if it was a Vertu but as this was bought at the original going price which is what a normal v3 cost...its not heart breaking...

Wehehehe, that sure is a lot of money for a black moto rzr v3!
Maybe you could try to hide the spot with an average "gold" Edding marker, that way you can always retouch the spot when it starts fading again.

Care to sell it to me at a nice price?

yeah, they had gold ones but when I emailed them they assured me they were not DG ones. it was about that time I decided to sell my V3i because, for one reason, I didn't like the colour (I still much prefer my original silver one!)
I'm still watching these DG's on ebay...
