I spoke with Dick Phillips but he couldn't recall the paint he used on his cameras other than it being water-based and sprayed on. I'd like to out a durable finish (flat black or gray) on my camera. It's baltic birch and some surfaces are coated with epoxy. I need something that will cover both. I've tried tests with rust oleum and rustoleum auto paint but the results scratch easily. Auto paint in aeresol cans doesn't have the same mix as real auto paint so it doesn't make a hard coat. I am familier with the Eastwood 2 part cans but it's a one-time use can and would be $$$ by the end of it. I do have a hvlp gun I could use if I find the right paint. Anyone know specifically what paint camera makers use/used?
