touch up paint on metal

Has anyone tried using touch up paint to cover up the stinking key hole on the trunk? IMO it sticks out like a sore thumb and i want it gone. Anyways, if anyone has had any experience plz fill us in. thanks

I think if you do that its going to chip off when opening the trunk and look even worse!!

You should get it powdercoated or anodized to match your color.

Well if your not using your key then dont just use the touch up paint and us that little brush. Use some kind of spray can/paint gun if your going to paint it. I think it would be fine it you never us the key on it!

I like the shaving idea. It's expensive though.
