Hello forum. I've been pondering a bit about posting this thread because this is a very minor issue, but ultimately decided to.
The paint finish is coming off from some parts of my Virus. It's very minor, it looks like it's scratched a bit and I can cope with it, but it's rather annoying when the "dent" is right there in my sight. The paint has come off in the lower border in a place where usually my right hand rests while programming the synth, the angle/bend just above the "wooden" front panel. It's just a few millimeters and again it's minor, but it sucks. It's not scratched with the nails, the paint just came off with normal use, revealing the metal beneath. The longest part is less than 1cm long, and 99% of it is concentrated on that side, between the imaginary lines from Soft Knob 3 and Value+ button - i.e. where I keep my right hand during programming. There's a couple of dots on the left side of the synth, too, but they're even smaller.
The Virus has never been cleaned with anything else than those dry, soft cloths used to clean eyeglasses' lenses. No moist nor chemicals. It's 15 months old, got it home on 16 November 2009.
What can I do if I want it repaired? Is it common?
This is a picture of the "damage". I hope it's clear enough - the white parts are the aluminum showing up and reflecting my camera's flash.
