Hello everyone!

Didn't realize how many people replied on this until now.
For right now I am going to leave it as-is sense I wasn't going to do anything at the moment.
I was mostly just seeing if anyone else had any recomendations on repainting it.
If I do get to repainting it I will fill in the chips and see how it looks and if it looks fine I'll leave it but if not I might repaint the areas where the paint is like that.
On the back and other side is perfectly fine, it's just the lid and 2 sides that are bad.
