I assume that is the Version One of that lens? Does Lens Coat or similar make a neoprene cover for it? That might be a better approach. I've never tried to repaint a lens, but I suspect that unless you take the finish off then redo it, you will just change from little black flecks to little white splotches.

Although I would say, IMHO, and bearing in mind different strokes for different folks, unless you are building a lens collection for display purposes, should you really care? By that I mean are you going out in the field for a fashion show or are you trying to get good images? A few scratches will not have any bearing on the quality of your images. Put another way, an auto mechanic generally isn't concerned about scratches on his wrenches as long as the car gets repaired properly.
