Why not take a picture of it with a digital camera!. (I realize that you may have to borrow one from a friend!.) Or, take a picture, make a print, and scan the print!. Do what you must do to get the thing imaged and place the file on your hard drive!. Open it it Photoshop (or have the kids from high school do it) and color it in using pink!. Then you can judge for yourself!.

Lord knows, it will take better pictures!

It worked for me!.

If gray was the original colour of the camera refinishing it can ruin the value!. If it has been painted over in gray the value is gone!. I really wonder that it is gray anyway normally with those wooden cameras the wood won't get painted or if then clear to show the structure of the wood!.
Anyway it's your camera so !.!.!.!.
Mask the gray with self adhesive letters saying "disturbed" or whatever before painting it pink and peel them off when the paint is dry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pink cameras are always being the most popular in my country!. They are making the most good photos all every day!. It could not be hurting anything to trying this on your 45X camera!. I never saw a 45X camera, so you will be taking beautiful pictures of the moon with this camera in zooming!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want it to work good, it has to be in pink ;-)!. Look for the stickers on Ebay!. You could also try the sticker machines that you see in grocery stores; they're cheap and sparkley!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
