Could worry about it, or just live with it. View the chips in the same way some hot rodders leave their paint as black primer. Looks like you mean business. Adds patina.

Peter P. and Walt both raised that issue and I told them I'd live with it, which pleased Peter and confused Walt!

Yeah but I've got long legs so it's a bit small

Another thought -you like mine... I like yours. Maybe we could organize a swap?

Using double-sided tape for the badging instead of holes sounds like a great idea.
