Ummm now if Camera gear had zero resale value, I'd probably do it.

However, it does have great resale value and painting it your favourite shade of lime green is going to kill the resale value for everyone but the most hardcore lime green fans (for example).

Lime green? Really? I was kinda thinking about some pastels for your gear! :ohmy:

:rofl: No, not my gear! Like Adrian said, you gotta think about resale. But I guess it's like they say, to each their own. :huh:

:agree: The paint job does look pretty clean. I wonder how long it will last though? :whistle:

Oh my. You know what though? I do like it. Don't know if I would go that far. Looks pricey

I really do like this. But honestly would be so nervous of scratching this and having to go through trouble to repaint!
