If you could have a Canon AE-1 Program in any color you like, what would it be?
I have a couple and i want to try to repaint one.
The silver panels are plastic so i guess i can just use sandpaper rough it up a litte and then spraypaint it, right?
How would you go about getting the markings back on there after painting?

This thread will only be tangentially related to photography, but okay.

I would use some black enamel and a very fine artist's brush to fill in the areas after you spray paint.

I really can't see why you'd want to devote such effort for something as trivial as the color of your camera. At the same time, I can't fault you either for choosing to modify such a common and easily replaceable camera body either.

>I have a couple
Why.
>and I want to try to repaint one.
WHY?
>spraypaint
This is definitely /diy/ territory here.

My suggestion is
>sell those two bodies for a reasonable price
>if you want to stay in the FD mount get an A-1 in good conditions (they're not hard to find and they're not AE-1P-expensive)
>...
>profit!

Ride the wave, dude. You got the luck to not only find those fuckers, but also find them at a reasonable price; if they're in good shape put them on shitbay: you're probably going to get a fuckhuge ROI on those machines. (Seriously what's going on with the prices?)

Or olive drab: http://www.canonfd.org/canon-f1.php

scotchbrite wilwrk better than sandpaper. the maroon colored industrial stuf, not the green one for pots and pans. Also, make clean it well to remove any oily residue otherwise the paint won't stick. Furthermore you need to use special paint meant for plastic.

>>markings black
Black paint. Then wipe off with a small squeegee while the paint is still wet. That will leave paint behind in the "ow spots"

>>any color you like, what would it be
I'd rather it not be repainted, especially by someone who has no clue what they are doing. I don't want a hipster colored camera, and repainting reeks of there being some defect you're trying to cover up.

Kind of tangential, but that olive drab one reminds me that I've always thought OD or desert tan variants of modern pro DSLR bodies would be really cool.

Not sure if they're are actually any military issue modern DSLRs, seems like they mostly use "simple" camera modules, typically gimbal mounted, and remote viewing.

If you want all the disadvantages of the T series, at least try to get all the advantages with the T90.
