Camera painting prep

[Baldcamman]

You guys that have painted cameras, how did you cover the little mic hole?
It is to small too tape around and not show white.

Roll a little piece of tape, paper, or even a blunted toothpick, small enough to fit in the hole and stuff it in. Take it out before the paint is totally dry to avoid any peeling.

Thanks awsum,

The toothpick is what I thought about just didn't want to damage mic.

Be gentle when pushing it in and use as short a piece as you can. The rolled paper or tape may be a safer choice.
