My 339 showed up last week but with some cosmetic damage. I'm not sure if this occurred during shipping or because of shifts in temperature, but there are a few areas where black paint has chipped off the unit (without me touching it). A little annoyed that the paint chips so easily, but I've been told the company will cover any costs to correct the problem.
 

 
That is an image to show what I'm talking about. I'm trying to figure out the best method for painting those chipped areas. I'll admit I don't have much experience painting smaller things or electronics (only really painted houses). Looking for some advice regarding the type of paint and technique I should use to try and cover up the chipped areas.
 
Thanks

If it were me, I would tape everything off and paint the whole darn thing. 
 
Sand it down with some rough grit, then fine grit sand paper. Clean the surface. Tape everything that isn't black off. spray it with some self etching primer, and then spray pain the thing your favorite color.
