> let the camera have it's beauty marks, it has earned them. I am suggesting that you might consider not touching-up the paint. (This is a very individual, subjective, personal preference, of course.) Personally, I think a black body with "brassing" along the edges is quite nice looking. (I will admit, however, that sometimes the "brassing" on newer bodies - or "coppering", in the case of the M and A bodies, such as the Super A - may not be quite as attractive as it is on some of the older bodies.) I also prefer "stock" appearance over "modified" appearance - unless the touch-up job were done "perfectly". Finally, it is unlikely that the usual consumer spray paint will wear as well as the original Pentax paint. In any event, I personally would not, under any circumstances, consider touching-up the paint on any of my own beloved LX's, Super A's, or black Program Plus's. But, as I said, this is a very personal thing... Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
