    Repair anodizing on a scope

    Hey. I have a few rub marks on my scope in the usual places. Has anyone been able to come up with something a bit more durable or long term than just putting a sharpie over it?

    There is a stuff called Aluminium black. Gun shops will have it or you can borrow mine.

    I've got Birchwood Casey's touch up pen. It's OK but eventually wipes off if wiping scope wih oily rag.
    Can also use a black permananent marker but the colour match is terrible.

    I might add that rub marks are impossible to effectively cover up. The BW product is more suited to chips on for example turret caps.
