I converted my first non-AI lens, a Nikkor-P 105 f2.5, to AI. It works very well (I love the look of it), but I haven't found a good paint to cover the filed portion of the ring. Anyone know of a good paint to match the lovely one on the rest of the ring?

I used a special black marker for DVD labeling (several times)

Thanks! I'll see what I can find.

Update, the best thing I've found so far is Acrylic artist paint (pigment) mars black. It's not quite as shiny as the Nikon paint but very close.
