Sharpie metallic silver markers do an okay job. Trying to use paint is real pain. I gave up on the method after several tries and use the markers. The color is a bit different but it blends in reasonably well. Be sure to clean well first.

IMHO its perfectly legal to restore a calc IF you have the necessary skills and tools. Also purchasing a "restored" calc would be ok if the seller clearly indicates what was done. For my part, I'd be very careful to ensure I'd be really improving the appearance / beauty / performance / value / whatever of the very specimen instead of degrading it. If I cannot guarantee, I'd rather keep my hands off, also due to respect for HP's work.
What do others think?
