I'm new in the art of restoring...
Trying to make a canon Demi S look shiny and usable.
I need some orientation on the materials needed.

1º The rough black chorme parts, the top and the bottom covers are very unpainted and rusty (the green kind of rust). Which kind of paint do you recommend to paint them after cleaning?

2º The transparent plastic that covers the meter is really foggy, tried the toothpaste tip for a few minutes but... still the same

3º Well the lens... I know, I know, "put a roll and test it". But i wanna know how bad is it. It is not dirt, and pretty sure it is not fungus either, I've soaked the elements on vinegar for a couple of minutes and nothing, think those are scratches like a mass of tiny pits.
These are the front and the rear lenses respectively:




Should I toss it in the garbage? (It feels horrible just the sound of it...)
