Are there any _goog_ black paints for lenses that makes the lenses look _better_ then it was before, when you have applied it on worn parts?
I am looking to fix the paint on two of my Super Takumars. But I do not want to put something on that mismatch completly with the rest of the black.

I think you can't restore perfectly with paint by hand.

Thats a shame, I was looking at some "touch-up pen" on micro-tools.com. This one: http://www.micro-tools.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?LTPLanguage=EN&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=15102-F&Category_Code=PAI&Store_Code=MTE
There is also a glossy one. Noone tried them? Or similar?

For a first look will be ok, but in closer examination you definitely will see the re-painted spots.

Why do you want to touch-up the paint.
A lens has character when it is worn.

If you want to paint internal surfaces to stop reflections, I have used flat black model enamel, Tamiya brand is good.
