Has anyone out there had much success on repaining a painted logo which is all messed up on my Fed 5C? I had a piece of tape over the light meter and logo when I ws stripping down my camera, and alas, off came the logo and paint when I removed the tape. I have it temporarily covered over, but if possible I'd like to get it back to the original, or as close as I can come. I'm thinking of some press on lettering or something like that. Thanks, Harlee |

It might sound weird, but this is an effective way of painting a logo on a camera.
You take an erasor (one of those that you use to erase pencil) This erasor has to be very soft. In spain, the best brand is MILA. It has one good property, it is porous and the paint can get in.
You have to paint the logo on the erasor AS A MIRROR IMAGE, and then, with lots of care, you have to remove with a cutter a layer around the logo.
You only have to paint the erasor with some paint and then stamp your logo.
You have then |

Pablo's DIY method is a very simple, hand applied version of the 'Tampo' machines used to apply painted details to diecast models and perhaps even camera bodies.
You may find that one of those firms that cuts and supplies self adhesive vinyl letters, can produce letters in the size you require. My local firm can produce very small letters etc, as long as they have the artwork supplied. |
