HELP Crack in brand new TV case - Best way to hide the repair????

typed the following:

Hi,
I have just bought a new TV (32" SONY Wega widescreen) and it
unfortunately suffered a small accident when it was being carried through
our door when a small piece of the silver coloured plastic casing, just
below the screen, got broken off. We effected a repair using cyano-acrilate
superglue to replace the cracked-off piece but the join is very noticeable
as the line of the crack is a darker color (a black line) than the rest of
the silver coloured chassis.

I would be interested to learn what the best technique would be to
disguise the crack. I would have though that there must be a product
(perhaps a paint or lacquer) that could be applied to the crack to match the
color of the casing material and make the crack invisible by filling it with
the appropriate color.

All advice willingly received....

Thanks in advance

You can go to a hobby store and pick up some Testor's model paint in
silver color. There is also a silver paste that can be used to cover the
crack and then buffed. It is more of a hard wax than a paint, though.
