Default Valve cover paint chip

Hi guys, I've recently noticed a small chip in the paint on the valve cover. The rest of the cover is PERFECT aside from this small paint chip, so It's bothering me a bit. I'd like to avoid repainting/powdercoating the entire cover over 1 small paint chip, so was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks so that it doesn't stick out so much.

Thanks

You're lucky yours only has a small chip. My valve cover has tons of cracking and chips on the paint and my S only has 55k miles

Red fingernail polish is what I used on mine before I ended up getting a new valve cover. But that held me over for two years.
