Just be aware that a touch-up often lowers the value to a collector, who would
usually rather see bare metal than non-original paint.  It depends on what is
most important to you at the time - improved current cosmetic appearance or
future resale value.  (Actually, I even prefer to see the worn areas on the
film door and the light scratches around the tripod hole of my working camera
bodies - they're signs of "character", I guess.)
