Paint problem

Hi everyone, I just received the DW PIA 742M today, but I found that the paint is missing. Is there any way to fix it?

White POSCA marker is good at fixing such things. It is almost invisible

Paint chip is the most difficult thing to fix perfectly without sanding and respraying, just like rock chips appearing on a vehicle, especially if part of the metal is gone. For paint chip retouching without sanding and respraying I have tried something called Dr. Colorchip but it's made exclusively for automotive. Since diecast model has glossy enamel type of paint finish probably Dr. Colorchip would do it with a similar result for basic colors such as black or white. The way that Dr. Colorchip works differently than typical touchup paint pen without getting a more blotchy look is that it comes with a squeegee to swipe off the excess paint and then using the supplied blending solution that acts as a sealant for the paint chip repair that smoothens out the touched up area.
