Black Coating On Laptops

[joko]

what is this coating that is on some laptops?

its pretty weak, scratches & scuffs & scrapes off really easily - why do they use it?

why not just use proper paint?

is it just what refurbishers use to make old laptops look nice again?
same point though, why not just paint over the top with laquer?

is there any reason for its use? - im assuming its to 'fill in' any scratches etc so theyre invisible, whereas some paint would still show signs of marks underneath

can it be easily removed?

my laptop is a mess & im wondering whether to get some of this stuff, & then spray paint over the top so it wont scrape off again

thanks :)
