I had a BM5000 that had a bad dint and was also scratched . Can't be polished out because it has a surface finish and would end up polishing thru this to the raw aluminium . I removed the old plate , difficult as it's stuck down with double sided tape , got a new plate cut to size and sprayed it gloss black with an aerosol , look's better than it did before and look's like a 7000 now .
