Repairing MDF shelf finish

Does anyone have a good technique for repairing the plastic finish on an MDF shelf?

I have a SolidSteel rack and one of the shelves has a ding in a very noticeable place. The plastic coating has been knocked off, but the underlying particleboard is OK.

I'm thinking there must be some product that would adhere to the particleboard and could be smoothed in and made to match the existing plastic, and then painted black when it hardens. Any suggestions?

Thanks - David

Plastic wood should work also with a magic marker for color. Of course you could also turn the shelf around if the chip is on the front.

Yes, I know what you mean about them only going one way. Don't they have holes that line up on the bottom? Can't these be re-drilled?
