Plug the hub with a rag. Soak another rag in acetone. Repaint in color of your choice.

I usually use scotch brite pad and a little mineral spirts or brake claean. It comes of with a little work and the paint is fine. Make sure to leave the cap on the hub while cleaning to keep debris out of the convertor. I believe the painted surface is a little sticky when it is boxed up. They really pack those boxes tight with the foam and well it sticks some times. IMO it's better than recieving a damaged tc.
