I am sure there was in the tech's tool box. The guy that came with the

Everything seems to shiny too. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it had
all been repainted. Sticking a bottle of touch up paint in cars is what
the custom cars usually do. Anyone else seen Cray touch up paint ? Seems
like we would have seen a bottle on ebay by now.
I kinda doubt Cray put bottles of paint anywhere
inside their machines.
I wouldn't bet any real money on it. On earlier machines, but perhaps
not something as recent as a T9x, they would sell you the computer
painted any color you wanted, so I wouldn't have been the least bit
surprised if there was somewhere in one of the cabinets where some
spare paint was stored for field touch-up.
