I don’t know about touch-up paint, but over the past 20 years I’ve chipped and scratched plenty of paint off of my EF 500mm f/4L IS USM and recently decided to spray paint it. I carefully cleaned the lens and then masked everything I didn’t want paint on with blue tape then sprayed it with Krylon paint then painted over that with a clear matte epoxy paint.
