I'm sure this answer changes from generation/model to generation/model.
I searched for two hours so hopefully this isn't covered elsewhere, and I'm just a moron...
Specifically I'm wondering about the compacts: plus, SE/30, and CC. There's a plastic main shell but it seems to me there's another layer? It's not paint is it?
E.g. the Plus: the front/bezel part of the case fits into the main/rear part of the case. There's a discernable difference in color and texture at these joins.
I swear I've seen the insides of cases that are just black ABS looking, in stark contrast to the platinum, beige or other finish.
I'm thinking mainly about repairs to the surface, and not retr0brite discoloration repairs—that's been well covered. I'm thinking about scratches, scuffs, gouges, cuts and the like.
Is it possible to get down to the base plastic (if the reality is that it's a coating of some sort)?
Can you use filler , color match and hope for the best?
This is a multifaceted question I guess.
Thanks for the responses/direction
