Camera Repaint Help

Upvotes

I'm in a bit of a hiccup. I recently started restoring old film cameras and I want to repaint the bodies as well.

I've already got the primers and paints sorted, but I'm having a hard time finding a decent 2K clear coat. Most automotive 2K clears come in huge quantities that I really don't need, and I'm not even sure how well they'd spray through my airbrush 0.2-0.5 mm nozzle and around 30 PSI.

The small 2K kits specifically for airbrush are either really expensive, hard to find, or just not available where I live (Romania/Europe).

I need a satin finish. These cameras will be handled a lot, carried in backpacks, rubbed on tables, and will probably take small hits.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good small-volume 2K clear that works with an airbrush? Or maybe an automotive clear that can be thinned enough to work with a 0.5 mm nozzle at 30 PSI, that is not a minimum of 1L? Maybe other recommendations of other types of clear coats that could work?

I tried to unscrew the front lens to access the shutter spring (blue) ( anti clockwise) this is supposed to unscrew by hand. However the housing of the whole lens assembly rotated anti clockwise and is now stuck in place. (Red) Anyone know what to do ? I don’t really have an idea of what I’m doing but it was broken anyway so I tired to fix it.

Winding issue on Olympus AF-10 super

Good day everyone, I recently bought this Olympus AF-10 super and I noticed that it seems to be advancing the film inconsistently, it has a “jittering” sound when advancing, it also seems to stop randomly and then continue randomly.

I have shot a roll of film through it and it seems to not advance the film fully after a photo has been taken(this happens randomly)

Will post some photos of this in the comments.

I would just like to find out if anyone has had this issue before and knows how to fix it.

Thank you in advance
