8/e paint

I just pulled a somewhat parted Typeset-8 out of a very dirty Memphis
basement, and just like the PDP-8/e I had before this, the panel paint is
just starting to peel above the rightmost switches. 

This bugs the hell out of me. I hate peeling paint.

I am toying with the idea of mixing up some paint to patch the flaws (the
rest of the panel is really great). Is there any interest in 8/e orange
(both shades) touchup paint, or am I the only one that manages to get
8/e's with peels?

The Typeset came with a DF32/DS32 pair and a Teleype BRPE paper tape punch
(PP67?), but the paper tape panels and electronics were removed years ago.
