Ok i posted a few days ago about how my sigma 70-200's rubber coating is peeling off. I've had it my head for the last 3 months or so to find a snow/winter camo tape and try and cover the lens as best as i could. My version of a white canon L lens, just 3rd party and ghetto. I've yet to find the kind of camo tape I want to use. Not duct tape or the tacky wrap kind.

I was just curious if there is anyone crazy enough out there to paint or customize there tele-lenses or any lens/body they own? I've seen the military paint jobs for the military journalists and i love that, would love to have mine professionally done in winter scheme. But dont have the money and i dont htink im that crazy in the head yet. :D

I completely covered my 500mm f 4L IS lens with camo tape that is used to camoflage quad fenders. Two years and it is as good as the day I put it on the lens. It shed a thread here and there but not around any of the lens mounts. I even camo'ed the teleconverters, too.

What kind of tape did you use?

Anyone know who paints lenses?
