During modification to my PM935 mill, I found out the hard way that the paint is very brittle (and body filler is often just below that.) I added 115V accessary outlets to a maintenance cover and it got scratched up, so I went looking for paint.
PM doesn't offer touchup paint, or even know the paint code. (How can you import and modify overseas products and not have touchup paint... but I digress.)
Anyway, they suggested contacting a paint shop, which I've done in the past, and at the time, they said they'd match it and sell me some only if I bought 12 spray cans worth. I don't know what the deal is these days, but will check into it if enough here are interested.
(FWIW, I spend 20 minutes in Home Depot with a PM-painted panel, trying to match it "close enough" to something HD carries. Nope.)
