I have a Kodak Bantam Special and there are a couple "wear spots" on the black enamel. Is there a preferred / suggested method for repairing those small areas? Is it OK to just get some black enamel paint and lightly cover up those couple of areas with a tiny brush? Or something else? ... Thank you.
 
Welcome to Photrio.
I've moved your thread to the Camera Repairs sub-forum.
Hope you find what you are looking for.
 
Yes, I've done that on mine. You may find dabbing with a q-tip or similar to be preferable, as it's less likely to leave brush marks.
 
Depending on the paint, you might also try a drop on the end of a toothpick. Touch the drop to the spot and let surface tension fill the depression. It's sort of a balance between the paint being too thin and going everywhere, and too thick to flow out.
 

Thank you Dan!
