Recesky DIY Reflex Film Camera - Question

jstillion · 08-29-2013, 11:51 AM

I bought a Do It Yourself Kit / Recesky Reflex Film Camera

I was thinking of painting the insides black to help adsorb more light.
Anyone know of a good dark black paint that won't reflect light.

Here's some supplemental instructions on assembling the camera.

When it's fully assembled it will look like this

Was thinking about Matte paint, but found something that may work better.
