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.

Very hard to make it look acceptable. What is against a used look? cameras are made to be used...

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.

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

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.

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.

I've seen skins on this website before. Might be able to cover paint loss

Used looking cameras rule.
