Brassing on Canon A-1


I have a Canon A-1, which I love, but it's showing serious brassing above the strap lugs. Is there anyway or anyone who can repair this? Can a camera be repainted, like a car? If it weren't for this little cosmetic flaw, my baby would be beautiful. Thanks in advance.

  Brassing is beautiful; it shows your camera is being carried and used. Makes ya look like a pro.

  Thanks, Doug, that makes me feel better. I'd still like to make it purtyful, though.

  I have the same problem with my A-1. If that's what it takes to look like a pro I don't want to look like a pro. The Canon Representative was no help. It seems that they just did a cheap job of finishing the camera, because none of my other cameras are brassing like the A-1. I have been thinking of stopping at a local paint store that sells all types of paint and see if I can have some touch up paint made. I think that it would look a lot better.
