I use the JAG black xcavator sticks and they've got a few scuffs from pushing into hard ground over the years and it doesn't bother me one bit. But a gash around the top of a pod upright when it's still new and shiny would definitely bother me so I get where the OP is coming from, and I think most would be at least be bugged by it if they're completely honest.

And come to think of it I chipped one of my buzz bars went it was new and used one of those car paint pens from Halfords and I'd never thought of it since until now so must have done the job. So if it's an area that you're not pushing into the ground then try that.
