RE: Pentax K1000 Project
-Original Message- From: MANGUM,MARK Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 11:37 AM This is not for the faint of heart. I relatively new to the list, but I do love my Pentax's so please bear with me. I have finished a project of rebuilding a couple of K1000's and had two bodies left over. This led me to thinking (Yes, I know I shouldn't do that), what would a BLACK K1000 look like. I purchased a special leather kit from cameraleather.com and stripped a body down to see what a paint job would need. I tested a couple of different paints and cleaners and settled on a gloss black. The flat and satin paints just didn't look right. To see the final camera go to the cameraleather web site at http://www.cameraleather.com/pentax and go to the bottom of the page. The K1000 with the green background is the finished product. Let me know what you think. I a dedicated Pentax user so I have thick skin. It did turn out better than I had expected and even I like it.

William, Next time I make it out there I will have to bring one of the unadulterated clean ones, along with the original of course.

Its not nearly as durable. Now, I'll step off my soap box.
