Sometimes it's just not possible to touch up original paint.
If it's that valuable to you, why not restore it to it's original glory?

Bondo? I guess that would work, question would be getting it to stick I guess..... Makes me think of a couple of small dents in the Raleigh I am tearing down at the moment. I need to touch up the paint anyway and fix some rust, so Bondo over the dents, add paint, I guess that would work OK. Hmmmm....
