See above links for various possibilities, sorry I can't help you.

However,
being a 'film professsional', by virture of my job, I've also seen these
cameras 'up close'. What I was wondering was: is this truly 'paint' on

those
Arri's or more like a custom colored & baked on finish. The finishes are
almost bulletproof / scratchproof and talk about resilient. If those

cameras
are indeed 'painted' - it's amazing because of it's durability.


These are Swiss and German cameras, after all. They don't fool around.
Commercial wrinkle finish required a few steps to complete, it wasn't simply
sprayed on. Like all good paint jobs, it was baked, which hardens it. I once
saw a 1969 GTO done in black wrinkle. Saved having to wax it, I guess.
