Are you sure it's worn off, or could it be deliberately not applied in those areas? It should not be applied too close to the high voltage connector because of the possibility of arcing. (Of course, what is there should be contiguous so it's all grounded.) In any case, it's OK to wait until you have the set running to see if there is any problem. Aquadag (the full name) can be purchased and applied easily, but I wouldn't bother until you're sure you need it.
