LAA:

I had composed a response to your earlier questions, but then saw your latest post. The only open question would now appear to be whether that minor scratch would in any way have weakened the frame. In my opinion, the answer to that is a resounding "no."

I just happened to have jewelry burnishing tool sitting around so I ran it over the scratch a few times.  I then lightly ran a small carbide file over the former site of the bur a couple of times and then ran the burnisher over the bur spot to smooth it out.  After wiping an alcohol swab over the scratch and bur spot, I used the touch-up paint on the scratch and bur site.  

After reassembling the slide/frame, I racked the slide a couple of times to make sure the new layer of paint did not scratch off.  The amature fix seemed to work :)

Thanks to all for your input.

LAA.  Glad it's all worked out.     :)

Welcome to the Forum, Nate.  If the frame is black, you could try a black Sharpie permanent marker.

It will be hard at first but you eventually get use to your gun having wear marks and scratches.

I'll buy the damaged gun from you for a large discount and you can buy a new one.
 Brownells sells a "cold blue" product I have used. I'll post a link if I find it.

You can call Brownells Gun Tech department and ask for help

Cold bluing products may not be compatible with aluminum. I would check with Brownells first.
