painting pinholes in Kontur finder??

[KenD]

Hi RFF'ers,

Any suggestions for what paint to use for painting pinholes in the opaque part of the glass on a Voigtlander Kontur Viewfinder (the one with the Bright Line for one eye, and the scene viewed with the other)?

Thanks for any ideas,

KenD

Are we talking about frosted glass here? If so, go to a hobby shop (the kind with materials for making stained glass windows) and get a bottle of glass etchant. Touch up the pinholes with that and it will frost them.

If you are talking about actual paint on glass (or anything else), touching up paint chips never works. You probably need to strip all the old paint off and repaint it. However, you can try going to an automotive store and getting a paint pen (the kind of thing used for filling stone chips in a car's paint.
