Any ideas on how to touch up chips on grey anodized lights such as sunwayman and jetbeam?
I know many use permanent markers, although it works, it doesn't exactly last long.
How about paint? What type of paint? Preperation to chip first? Any other methods?

I have previously used high temp engine block paint found in auto shops. I spray a little into the lid, let it dry a little so that it becomes a little tacky, then I dab it on carefully onto the spot I want to fix. Seems to last a while, and the heat build-up doesn't bother it. I'v also used the same type of paint on P60 drop-in reflectors so I could use the reflector as a spacer between the LED and an aspheric lens. Works great.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that, shame these light companies don't supply matching touch up paint
