Re: Home made 4x5 pinhole camera ?

Hi Leezy,

I've had pretty good luck by sanding the inside of metal cans to
roughen the surface and give the paint something to adhere to. Then
spraying Krylon metal primer then two coats of Krylon ultra-flat
black. I've had a little problem with dust from spray paint that
dries before it hits the metal surface, but no worse with cans than
with the old oatmeal boxes. Zernike mentioned using paint that can be
brushed on rather than painted as a possible solution.
