An internet search didn't help..I presume not many folks put any money into these guys.  My cover has a couple of boo-boos where the paint is chipped. Since these are the only noticeable cosmetic issues, I thought I would fill the chips and either retouch or repaint the cover.  I can take it down to Sherwin Williams but thought I would ask here first.
