  There’s a Chrome Silver Gundam Marker made by Bandai and also from Tamiya available in the market. You can use that to touch up the nub marks. Although I am not sure if its available in your local hobby shops. 🙂

  I forgot about the marker. You could try that, or possibly a very very light dry brushing of chrome paint. I haven’t had the chance to deal with this issue myself, so I’m curious to know what you decide to do and how it turns out. Good luck.

  don’t know if it’s possible to completely hide such things one of the problems with gloss finishes and even worse on reflective surfaces is that you can’t really do touch ups but that said I’d use either an alcad 2 silver or a mr.color super metallic silver, there’s a few choices in each and they’re as far as I’ve heard the closest to an actual chrome you can get in a paint.
  
  alternatively you could strip the chrome completely and go entirely with the paints and a high gloss finish though that likely won’t have as nice an effect as the plating.
