hi jasper
sorry to here that buddy
if the bottle isn't cracked,dented,pierced
then it will be ok car body repair kit,if its straight to metal.then just re spray with black Matt paint
but would advise you to get some camo cover,to protect it in the future.a bright one for the summer because the hot sun on direct black will cause you an accuracy problem,as i have witnessed.
changing the bottle i cant be sure ,but isn't it like other buddy bottles you just unscrew it,to remove it form the action i may be corrected on that!
regards
davy
