MOTM (and Stooge panel) paint doesn't scratch all that easily. In fact, I
don't think I've put a single scratch in the paint on any module these past
years.
I even let my 1 & 3 year-olds play with the thing (and I'm a very paranoid
person about that kind of thing)! I keep an eye on them, of course, but my
confidence is high enough that I'm not worried that they'd scratch the
panels. Not without a tool of some kind. Through normal, non-abusive use,
the paint really holds up.

Paul, although I still haven't seen a real MOTM panel
myself, don't you think that inserting a midi plug in the
font panel will scratch the paint?
