Painting numbers
Nothing new under the sun and maybe someone might find this "tip" useful. This is a Canon FT that I bought from a seller who had it listed as broken (the shutter release was jammed) so I bought it very cheap and I was going to use it for spareparts. After removing the bottomplate it turned out that the shutter mechanism was stuck so, now it works fine and I guess this camera has been used as an educational camera or similar since it has a lot of scuffs and also text on the bottomplate. Anyway - since it works again, it will not be used for spareparts but I will clean it and make it as fit as possible again so, for example: Shutter speed dial. To re-paint numbers I use Revell (or Humbrol, same thing) Enamel Color, a toothpick and some isopropyl alcohol to remove the leftover paint. It is not 100% perfect but at least it makes it possible to read it again. Cheers!
