I've done it many times. I had been looking for the particular mini for many years and was able to get a damaged one for 100 bucks. A "good" one might have been 4-5x that if I could even find one. I use Durham's rock hard water putty. It's easy to use, sands easily and dries (as you might imagine) rock hard. I use 99 cent craft paint which can be mixed if needed to get the right color (note: matte finish is shown but you would want gloss). A chip on a cap brim could even be repaired with spackling compound or drywall joint compound. The "purists" might pooh pooh my repairs but oh well.
