Touching Up a Repainted Camera

I'd say leave it as is. It is neither rare or of high value. Even if it were, I'd still leave it alone.

If it's original Canon black, don't retouch it...that's VERY rare and valuable, as we all know. Retouching the original black would damage the value.

 

It doesn't appear original so that's probably not a concern.

The lettering [in white] looks very well done. The original black cameras were stripped from chrome before palcing black on the brass. This may be a good paint job but done on chrome directly, which in the end will flake off.

Raid, if you can find the right materials, then the right guy, you can probably get a good touch up.

 

I painted three cars, and learned about applying and rubbing out fast drying paint.

 

But, I was generally lousy with hand touch up, but my body shop guy can hand touch a car with a delicate touch so that it is hard to see. He has done it while I watch, I just cannot believe it is so fast and easy for him. Maybe he will give a discount for smaller items? And black is easy to match.

The Canon P arrived today in the mail.

I need some help here; does the chrome on a camera look shiny chrome or muted champagne color?

I compared the chrome Canon P with the black Canon P at the exposed "chrome' areas of the black P. The two chrome colors differ.

 

Is the chrome on top of a Canon P the same color as the base chrome?
