Hi Tim , i live in Barcelona , ill ask in Arri in Munich , do you think the oil will be called the same there ? knowing them it should be called "das unike und perfekt Arri Kamera Oil " not Chronosynth :) cheers jonas

Hi tim , thanks , i know that shop, i have seen their cameras , not bad .. to bad to hear the paint jobs they do does not hold ... , im not trying to paint the hole camera , i like it the way it is , and i agree with you , its just some scratched parts and spots i would like to mend . I have other super 8 cameras and things i need to paint, thats what my question is.. maybe with wrinkle paint for car finishes ? has anybody done that ? btw , you have a great site .. ps now that i have your attention , i recently bought on ebay a oil pen for the arri st , what oil do i use ? could you help me there . ? cheers jonas ps. thanks for the post Annie

Hi , im currently renewing (dusting of ) some camera gear i have and i need to paint some parts , its saturday and i cant reach my camera mechanic ( guess its sane not to work on the weekend :) ) , so i bother you guys on the forum , what the is the name of the black paint process to get that black crumply texture on the cameras ? i need to paint a few scratches and some cameras completely , can i do it at home ? do the parts have to go in a paint oven ? i have cameras that the finish goes from more rough to less .. how do you achieve this finish ? thanks and have a nice weekend . jonas

Hi , i have the same camera , sending it to service is the best thing to do , but before that you could put the camera in a jar full of rice , this is a poor man silica gel bag option , i have done it twice with my camera and it works , do remove the batteries and be careful not to get any rice in the camera or the gate , what i do is put the camera inside a net / silk stoking and then in to a big jar , leave it for a few days , that might help a bit .. you should also get a new O-ring for the door , it might be that its not sealing completely .. cheers!! Jonas
