Why not spray paint? Yes, it'll eventually chip off, but you can make spray paint look really good. And then no one on SR will call you out for being obsessed with the color of your scooter.
idc what people call me out for the only reason i dont have a red deck now is because i cant find one in stock anywhere. spray paint is shit and its not anodized.
you cant really redo anodizing, once its gone its gone. what are you going to do, keep trading for new decks every time it gets a scratch? just use paint and touch up as needed, no biggie.
