So I did something stupid, and I ended up dropping my black 510 battery on some gravel, now there are a few scratches on it. I was wondering if anybody had found anything that matches the finish of black batteries yet. I was thinking possibly nail polish? Let me know if anybody has found a good solution.
Fixing scratches on a battery?

Is the paint chipped/scratched all the way through? If not then some good machine polish may clean it up a bit. If it's all the way through then any enamel black will touch it up but it will not look 100% without some finish work. I paint cars, this is always a nit-pick with me. When to leave something alone and consider it "good enough". Either way, as ridiculous as fixing the finish on a 510 battery is, I say go for it if that's what you want to do. I've removed the paint from an old 4081 and polished it to almost chrome for fun. Looks awesome with a stainless cartomizer. I also painted another with GM Pewter Metallic left over from my GMC Sierra.
my "Titanium" finish started wearing off of mine...I used a penny and scraped off all remaining finish for a nice chrome finish. The short answer to your question is don't worry about it, but if you'd like to dress it up might I suggest a black sharpie
I strip the paint off of mine with aerosol automotive paint stripper (nasty stuff, be careful). I put it in my cordless drill with a piece of painters tape over the chucked end, then give it a twirl while cradling it with a ball of fine steel wool. It gives it a nice satin finish that can easily be redone when it starts to get scratched up.
