Subject: matte black paint pen
I'm looking for something I can use to paint on certain
shiney
black plastic parts of my new Zenit camera to reduce
reflection. Given the size and structure, it has to be
really
thin and durable, so gluing something is not an option.
Does
anyone know a suitable material? Is there a pen with matte
black paint?
The best generally available light absorbent paint I've
been able to find is Krylon Ultra-Flat-Black. Its available
only in spray cans but you can spray some in a small
container and apply it with a brush. I think the paste-on
flocking is better and there are some hard to find specialty
paints but this stuff is relatively cheap, works well, and
is available in most hardware stores.
