    Cosmetic scope repairs

    No doubt most of us have the odd scope with a couple of slight cosmetic marks which do nothing to the performance of the scope but give it that used look, especially if it has a visible scratch or wear round the adjustment knobs?

    Has anyone found a way/kit/business that can cost effectively remove/cover/deal with these marks?

    Most scopes are the usual matt black finish, but I appreciate there are other finishes out there as well.

    Thanks

    It's certainly an option, but not one I had considered

    There must be loads of us with this problem - Matt Black paint from Halfords has been whispered in my ear, any one else tried it?

    Has anyone asked a manufacturer for a price/fix?

    I have not used it myself but have a look at this stuff.

    Then have a look at this thread regarding truck bed liner paint, although you may have to join to view it.

    Birchwood casey do gloss and Matt touch up pens for a tenner each roughly. I had been considering a couple of these for covering scratches on scopes specifically. Sorry.. I never tried them so I can't comment further
