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.

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.
