Paint suggestions to retouch the legendary EF 200mm F1.8 please

[GabrielPhoto]

I just got my hands on one and would like to get a paint to retouch some of the body.
Any suggestions which paint will match it best?
Thanks

I recommend leaving it alone. There’s probably more to it than some paint and a brush.

The original paint is probably baked into the barrel, much like how paint is baked onto a car body.

I agree with waddizzle.  Leave it alone.  😄.  But if you can't...

You can try the canon parts department but on a discontinued lens chances are slim.  eBay is where I grabbed this image from.

Not a total repaint so a few "touch up" spots will be nice.

Indeed, it is to retouch the small areas where the paint is all gone. Cant look worse than that !

Now if I wanted to go crazy, there is this!

Nice.

For anyone wondering that paint from ebay is a perfect match. My lens was incredibly clean so I only really had to retouch the knob for the tripod collar but still, very happy as now it looks even better. 😄
I thought about painting the screws (half of the screws are not original) but I may get the exact match screws first. In any case, I am storing the hood and getting a Zemlin to keep the original in good shape for any possible future sales (unlikely lol)

"... keep the original in good shape for any possible future sales"

What good is it to own if you can't/don't use it? None, so use it and enjoy it.

Because is inconvenient with those tiny screws needing tightening vs the much better fitting Zemlin.
Also...last time I checked ..I PAID for the lens, not you so unless you want to pay for it, dont tell me how I need to use MY GEAR!
Ignoring from now on....
