An article I once read on camera refurbishment suggested just the type of
paint you used with one modification, it was afterwards "baked" under an
incandescent desk-lamp, near enough for reasonable warmth but not so near to
cook the camera.  Be aware that model paints often have their own specific
thinners that are different to those for general purpose paints.  A little
polishing with a nail buffing pad when it's dry and the repaint should be
almost undetectable :)
