Refurbish computer monitor case

[Anonymous No.1769717]

Hey, I"m going to refurbish an old monitor. In pic related, you can see it has some shallow gashes and scrapes on the front. Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to fix this cosmetic damage?

I was thinking of filling it with some kind of epoxy resin like green stuff or milliput and trying to paint over it with a suitably mixed beige color paint. I think this will work, but I wonder if there's a better way.

Beige plastic cases were once very common for many PCs and their components, so I imagine fixing case scratches could be something many people wanted to fix, and therefore, perhaps there is already a good solution in existence.

If you want it to look more like the original plastic, lightly sand it with a fine grit sand paper until the scratches are reduced.

You can look up some of 8-but guys restorations on youtube. He tries a few different types of techniques depending upon the severity.

Thanks bro, I'll check him out. I had a look around on YouTube and I came across this: https://www.hobbytown.com/deluxe-materials-perfect-plastic-putty-40ml-dlmbd44/p249436..

This guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W77FEAtfv0I)) was using it to repair plastic cases for car components, but I imagine it would work really well for repairing deep scratches in my computer monitor. It even has a similar color to the monitor's case, so I may even get by without painting over it.
