On an MX5 NB (1998 - 2000), use almost always causes minor damage in paintwork, especially around nose, wheel arches and front flank. Stone chips, light scratches and damage to bare metal seem small, but are often the beginning of further damage when moisture gets free rein. A paint marker helps to close off such areas neatly and keep the original color image better intact. Especially when the visible parts of the sheet metal around the damage remain in a clean condition, the car immediately looks better.
