Default Best Way to Touch Up a White NX Bottle

I have a new bottle and it is near perfect, but i was putting this Bad *** Billett Aluminum Bottle Bracket Holder that I just got and I have a few areas that the paint slightly came off.

I know this isn't a beauty contest, but my set up might end up being more exposed and I want it to look nice and neat, you know some of us picky sob's are touchy about our cars.

It is just the new White NX Bottle with the 45 degree valve. Just curious, the best way to paint it and what White paint to use IF and when I decide ot do this.

Also do you just use a brush, a spray can, or what..

I know this is stupid, but just curious

Thanks

Mine is already scratched all to hell. I'm going to "touch it up" with a bottle blanket.

They're functional too!

why not sand it down, mask it off & repaint the whole bottle istead of touching it up?the spray cans of automotive paint work good as long as the prep is done right.

Well it isn't that bad, actually they are brand new, just a few spider scratches.

Thanks Though

You poor bastard (I mean that in a nice way!!!!!!)

Your just like me, I fret about the same things. To me, my car looks like **** from road rash, yet everyone tells me it looks "freaking brand new!" even though it's four years old and has 45K on it.

What I would do, if you want it to look good for some reason (because no matter what you do it will look like "****" again), is sand it down and re-paint it.

Thats the only way you and I would be happy - sorry. It's hard, un-fun work. But it's the way **** retent's are.

Hope you take this like I mean it. It's real, but light hearted as well. lol.

I think that is funny as S^%#!! No hard feeling at all. I am fine the way it is for now, looks fine.

If it was in the trunk area unseen, I wouldn't care. I am still figuring where I will put my bottle.
Thanks
