I was wondering what you guys do about the OP-1 coating being chipped. I’ve had mine since 2011 and it traveled multiple countries, so I guess it’s normal that it doesn’t look brand new anymore but it always triggers my OCD when I see the scratches and bumps. I’m considering buying a new chassis as a spare part if it’s even possible.
Do what you need to do, but those chips are beautiful battle scars that tell a story! I would try and embrace those chips as long as they are purely cosmetic.
Think about it… anyone can have a perfect OP-1. But a perfect OP-1 is most likely an unplayed OP-1.
if you wanted to go all out – strip all the parts out the chassis, get it sandblasted and have it powder coated in say, fluoro green.
or leave it sandblasted back to bare aluminium.
maybe have a look at touch up paints available at a auto stores.
