Depending on the size of area of the missing paint, I’ve had a lot of success touching up vintage lenses using Edding (brand) paint markers. Dries quickly to a hard finish.

Thank you Rick! The Edding paint marker seems like a viable option, I have seen these markers in shops here in Norway. (The size of the affected area is small)
The vendor I purchased the light seal kit from suggested using Krylon semi-flat spray paint #1613, a product which is impossible to source in Norway. It seems that the Krylon #1613 has also recently changed chemical formula, making it more glossy and possibly problematic for my intended use.
I have also though about using Humbrol enamel paint, that is easily found here. But I believe I will first of all try to find an Edding paint marker in a suitable colour (matte/non-reflective black).

I was going to suggest Humbrol matt black, having used it successfully in the past. Revell seem to have got some sort of holding of the Humbrol brand so that is another potential maker. I couldn't find Humbrol metallic gold anywhere but the Revell version was identical bar the branding.

Thank you David! I have found a shop in town that has Humbrol matte black in stock, so I will probably buy it tomorrow.
After having googled Edding paint marker, I have only found a model called Edding paint marker 750. This model comes in two colours: glossy black and glossy white, so not so suitable for the inside of a camera door.

I have touch-up paint markers in flat black and gloss black purchased from Micro-Tools.
They cover small areas well and after nearly ten years they are still quite usable.

When removing the old seals from the inside of the film door, I ended up with removing some of the paint. Does anybody have any suggestions about which kind of paint that can be used to touch up the inside of the door?
I am grateful for advice on this matter!
