Default Touch up paint on exterior shell

I have a small, maybe 2" x 2" bare spot on the rear shell. It apparently is rubbing on one of the light lenses on the front shell when closed and in transit. Has anyone had an spots where the shells have be worn down to the aluminum? Anyone touched up the paint so as not to have the bare aluminum out in the elements unprotected or am I overthinking this? I figured I could pop the one lense cover off and maybe put a towel on the shell at the location of the rub before we close it up. Somewhat simple fix.

I haven't done this yet, but we were looking at one that was for sale that had that problem. The paint you need to use needs to bond with the metal. I would think that Krylon enamel would not be a good candidate for it.

Maybe you should try a auto repair shop and see how much they would charge to repair a small strip.

any time you spray paint over metal, you should take fine sandpaper and sand before you spray to bond .i done this on mine and didnt have any problems bonding.thats the same thing body shops do.
