You could always try to repaint it. I bet you could get a can of tamiya gloss black that would work

Why not? What did they say?

I painted the peeling areas on my Rogue One with this acrylic paint that goes on fabric (after I did 2 coats of 303 Protectant).
Result is pretty good and hard to see where the paint is

They have no more spare parts. I had the figure for a while before I noticed the scratch.

Mine was almost exactly the same as your first picture. It was a rub, but it only went through the gloss coat. The black paint was fine. One could only see it under the lights. I thought it was just glare from the lights, but no. I ended up buying a dome aftermarket. I consider myself lucky I only paid $20 for it.

That stinks. Seems like maybe you got an early batch, and they ran out of parts early. Now that more stock is arriving they should have more parts.
I had the same issue on mine. Using some plastic scratch remover will make it look shiny and new.

When a figure is this expensive even the smallest defect can be a deal breaker

Where did you get the spare dome?
I sent the entire thing back for a replacement, we'll see how the new one holds up when it arrives in a couple of days...

I had bought one from Rise customs a little bit ago. They might still be on FB.
Question to you multiple version of Vader owners. Is the top helmet piece from the ESB Vader the same as the ROTJ Vader?

Sorry, I'm not fully versed in Vader domes, but I know that ESB Vader does not have the pointy widow's peak that the HT's ESB Vader does. It's should be kinda between the ANH and ROTJ versions. As far as how wide the dome and flared part are, I have no idea of the differences.

Good job. You're never going to notice that touch up at normal viewing angles

Very clever of you. I'm looking on ebay now and I can only find the full helmet. Nobody selling the dome seperately unfortunately.
