Yes you read it right lol
Got a 350d in silver, however would like it black. (without the hassle of selling it and buying another 1 in black)
How hard would it be to open, and then put back together? Or should I leave that sort of thing to professionals?
Err, why?
As far as I'm aware, the performance of each unit is identical?
No reason other than I think it would look alot better in black.

might look interesting
"more pro" looking ;)
you can DL instructions on how to take your camera appart, but tbh, its not worth it, if you didn't want a silver 350, why did you buy one?
heh, that armour isn't worth it, i had a look at that when i was @ Focus back in Feb, more hassle than its worth :)
Yep totally useless, but its black. Although the entire ensemble would be 2 tone.Quote:

Also, I'd think you'd certainly at the least risk invalidating any warranty.
lol, maybe.
Would a 350d still be in warranty?
Just edit it in photoshop each time you take a photo of it ;)
It's really not going to happen :E Anything you do manually would be a mess and if you take the time/spend the money to do it professionally you're probably better off just getting a black one from ebay.
If you do go ahead I'd love to see the results - please video the whole thing!!! :D
er, in answer to the original Q, no. its highly likely you will get paint inside the camera and fowl up the mechanism somehow. imagine paint as water - the 350d is not environmentally sealed...i think its fairly obvious where this is going.
no but if you dismantle the body before painting it is possible, someone did it 5 years ago with a 300D when they first came outQuote:

Maybe find someone who is your anti-twin and bought a black camera, except wanted a silver one, and see if he is willing to swap? If you are willing to swap, then he will be too, since he is your anti-twin.
What I said is more logical than trying to paint your camera.
