I have some scratches on my control stick that are just starting to show rust. I’ve asked LLC for some touch-up paint and was told there is no touch-up paint – bummer! Below is a statement I found when I searched LLC’s web site on “paint”. I’m guessing the CS is a sealing surface as the nut must lock down on a clean surface. If it rusts out if won’t be a smooth surface with rust on it. They don’t have any touch-up paint and replacing the CS is way too expensive just for some small scratches, any suggestions on covering the scratches?

Although some of the trim pieces may be painted without harm (fenders, outer portion of wheels, but not the rim), adding paint to many of the Segway HT's surfaces will compromise their functionality. Paints or other coatings (such as decorative stickers or decals) may also affect the material's strength and durability. Additionally, painting some parts of your Segway HT may affect environmental sealing.
In as much as the painting or other customization caused the damage to a component, directly or indirectly, we would not cover the damage of that specific part under warranty. Segway LLC might need to inspect the product to determine whether we would cover the damaged part. Your warranty remains in effect for unrelated components."
