barnabythebear Posted November 29, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hiya, I'm sure this has been covered but I couldn't find anything Has anyone found a decent way to cover up any sliver metalwork showing through the black surfacing of their Q? I'm looking at a couple of used Q2's and they look at 'used' Thanks, Nige. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 29, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2021 Very hard to make it look acceptable. What is against a used look? cameras are made to be used... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnabythebear Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 29, 2021 Hi, I'm OK with a used look but if it can be made to look better I'd be interested in trying it. Thanks, Nige. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Nige. get a body case then I think I saw some full body neoprene thing - maybe was a 3d printed plastic wrap on Etsy... or....get it custom painted - will be spendy, but the new dings and scratches will be all yours 😁 touch-up paint will never work properly - you can look at this https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/gun-refinishing/metal/ I have a pen type instant touch-up but not for camera stuff. never matches will, but it covers up....for a while 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwihenk Posted December 3, 2021 Share #5 Posted December 3, 2021 How on earth did they get this done? I can't find the designer but it seems to come from China and I love it. Non of the gadgets I can find on the internet. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

falcon468 Posted December 4, 2021 Share #6 Posted December 4, 2021 I have the Leica half case and will not buy one of those Billingham cases, or similar, as they far too narrow. Rubbing the camera up and down is a culprit to the paint. All of my cases offer plenty of breathing room to prevent paint deterioration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
