    Of course, if you really wanted to fix it, black is BY FAR the easiest color to repair.

    Just go to an auto parts store, and buy a black paint touch up kit. A couple of coats and some ultrafine sandpaper and you're cooking. Not as amusing, perhaps, but more likely to keep the paint from chipping away than a bandaid.



    But, if you are going to leave a bandaid on it, you need to get some Sesame Street, or Hello Kitty bandaids, instead. Plain tan is so......Fender.
