    I would do that too, except...

    ...by adding the price of paint, I'd DOUBLE the cost of the camera!

    Always nice when you can say you have a one of kind. And for sure you do on this one.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    That looks pretty cool. But, what color tape are you going to use now?

    LOL Paul.
    I have some red duct tape, but it isn't all that light proof.
    So on the back I have put a piece of red tape over a piece of black.
    On the front I put a small strip of tape too on the seam that is between the viewfinder and the body, but what I have done with this one is used red and black placing the red over the black so that it appears to be seamless.
    For the sides, I will just use black.
    Silly? Yeah sure! But it's fun!

    Nice

    It's a whole new business for you! I think you should make one like Paris Hilton's Sidekick phone thing. Put rhinestones and crap all over it. You will be soooo glamourous dahhhling! And it would match your purse, too!

    I bet the paint was worth more than the camera

    I think Archie McPhee online might have flame tape. I know they definitely have jolly roger tape! alas, it's not light-proof either...

    your red camera is very 60's mod! brilliant!
