I have not noticed any rust (haven't had the K3 outside the home). However, when I put the case back together after recent hardware mod's and second rx installation, I had a couple of cases where the conical part of the screw head first touched the widest part of the conical hole in the panel, and rubbed off some of the paint from the panel before tightening of all screws caused the screws to be almost centered. So, I would be interested in knowing the best choice of touch-up paint.

Not a show stopper but they do look a little sad one year on. Yes I could drop some black hobby enamel paint on them but this seems a little odd to me that after just one of owning the radio now the only blemish I notice is the screws have now appeared to be *rusty*.
