Hey so I was looking up Canon Lens Paint on Ebay and found this seller:

http://shop.ebay.com/gentletraderman/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25

Has anyone used something like this before?
I have a lens I'd like to touch up a bit but have not yet heard of anyone using these touch-up paints.

On the same note, does anyone have some they recently used and are willing to ship it out to me for use? :rofl I got one little dot I just want to fill up on the tripod foot! :wink

    "Did you know that Canon sells white L Series touchup paint? Although it is not cheap ($14.41 for 100g plus $8.00 or so for shipping), you can order it through Canon Parts. The part number is CY9-8078-001. The phone number to order in the US is 1-732-521-7230."

    I recommend using the actual Canon paint.

    Yep, I wouldn't trust the 3rd party stuff. The real stuff is probably better. Increases the resale value of your lenses!
