Cerakote paint in France ? Europe ?

[thomasdf]

Hello

I am thinking of having my 4 Banzai KM84 bodies painted with cerakote ?
Anybody doing this in France ? Europe ?
Feel free to DM me.

Thanks a lot

I had my Banzai KM84 bodies cerakoted by a company in the UK, Hi Spec Coatings. In the course of finding them, it seems that the vast majority of cerakote business is quite specialist and is concentrated on coating motorbike and firearm parts - you might be able to find some by searching along those lines? Failing that, if you approach the EU distributor (details here) they might be able to suggest local options for you.

In my opinion it's worth the hassle of finding someone to do it. I'm over the moon with the finish on mine - my mics haven't had extensive field tests yet, but it certainly feels robust and it looks fantastic.

Thanks !
I also do a lot of film photography and in my network I know a guy that paints camera… but he asked me 400€ for 4 mic bodies which seems a bit steep. If that’s not a secret, how much did it cost you to have them painted there ?

Yeah, that is a bit steep! Mine was more along the lines of €20 - €30 each plus return postage. If your contact mainly does cameras, he might be overestimating the complexity of the mic bodies...

Haha, that's exactly what I told him ... anyways, your rates are much more appealing. I'll keep investigating ! Thanks a lot !
