Alexander:
Nope. The 4T/Ti is known for losing its paint after a period of time. In
particular, this seems to be a problem with the titanium portions of the camera
(titanium's got a reputation for being difficult to coat or work with --
whether this reputation is true or not, I can't say...).
However, if you want to try touching it up yourself, you can check out the
following URL:
http://www.micro-tools.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=paint.htm/SID=147181277
This is the Web home of Micro-Tools, a specialist camera repair/maintenance
company. The above URL should take you straight to their "Paints" section of
the online catalogue.
Good hunting.
