Hi all,
My Manfrotto tripod Clamps have suffered with excessive paint peel and what appears to be oxidisation, I believe this is mainly due to the sea water that my tripods frequently find themselves in and the surrounding sea-spray... I do rinse the tripods with freshwater after my outings but this issue has still persisted.
I was looking to spray them again but wondered if anyone else had come across this and what they did to refurb the clamps?
I was thinking of wire-wheeling them with my Dremel to get the surfaces clean, then using an etch primer, and finally a coat of black plastic-based spray paint like Plasti Dip...
Any suggestions or alternatives welcome
