Touching up paint

Ok, maybe I'm anal about my stuff, but I don't like it looking all F***ed up where dumbasses have run it over. Granted, they're already dead from a ski pole through their heads, but that doesn't solve my skis being at least slightly f***ed up. How does Testors enamel model paint hold up on topsheets? Also, where's the best place to get epoxy for filling in cosmetic chips around my tips?
Thanks in advance

anything you paint onto the topsheet is going to have a tendency to crack in the long run, unless you paint the whole ski with something like an automibile paint and finish it with several clear layers... testers would work fine for a while, but you will have to touch it up time after time, but if it's not that big of a scratch it'll definitely make it look nicer. As for epoxy any two-stage quick drying epoxy will do. In the shop i use fancy stuff from holmenkol, but the quick drying epoxy by jb weld works just as well and you can pick it up at any local hardware store... hope that helps.
