PZR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well I've made a complete **** up, I got a drop of superglue (don't ask ) on my MacBook, a few inches left of the touchpad. So I did some googling and most people used nail varnish, so I applied it to a test area on the back of the MacBook, and it was fine, I obviously didn't test enough, since after 5minutes or so of trying to get this superglue off, two areas of the paint flaked off, the superglue was coming off, but if I try to get it off now, I'm going to strip the paint on the entire area. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any good touch up paint or techniques to repair it? The area were it's flaked is still black, and from what I can tell, the flake seems was some sort of clear coat, as it was transparent, not black. But it still looks horrible since it's nothing like the colour of the rest of the MB now. It was perfect until this, :censored2: Thanks guys.

Tried Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 sharks so sorry to hear about that. is your macbook the white or the black one? You might wanna consider taking off the whole thing and repainting it with spray paint. Or you can look on ebay for replacement covers.

benwinship Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Put a sticker over it. Not really a fix, but it works.

GTR-33 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Here's a tip, don't use super glue near something you don't want to get super glue on.
