Is there any way to fix a faded autograph?

I have a Paul McCartney autograph. Paul signed with a regular blue ball pen. The autograph was hanged on the wall framed behind regular glass. After 3 years 20%-30% from the color had faded and the autograph lost from it's strength. Now It's behind UV glass for a few years and everything is OK, it stopped fading. Is there any way to fix the autograph and make it look like in the begining? Is there any way to bring back the color that faded? Here is a picture of the autograph like it looks today after fading. It looks like black pen and not blue. Thanks for any help

Yes there are paper restorers who can apply ink to your autograph.

After applying ink to the autograph it can still be called original and authentic? It can still be sold as original and authentic? it won't depreciate the prcie or the value of the autograph? How exactly the restorer do it? with a blue pen over the lines of the autograph?

I went to that link ready to be infuriated by some quick fix or "restoration" and was pleasantly surprised.  That is the best advice I have ever seen on the subject.
