@vicTor Does that part of the mod get hot? If not, it's easy to paint it with something called Chalk Paint. No, this isn't for blackboards. It's a special paint that can be used on anything, anywhere. If used on furniture, for example, it's not necessary to sandpaper and apply primer first. But if used on a slippery surface e.g. your mod, you might want to sandpaper it lightly with a fine sandpaper. Then paint it, allow to dry and off you go... You can buy Chalk Paint at Builders Warehouse or have a look at your nearest hardware shop. Hot Tip: Don't buy Annie Sloane brand. It's the most well-known - and the most expensive. Not necessary for your purposes. If you do decide to paint your mod, or just touch up the scratched area, let us know the result.
Another hot tip: buy an oven mitt and put your mod inside it. You can even put a bottle of juice in the thumb of the mitt. Your beloved mod will be safe from harm.
