It is unclear how long these 'home' painted or 'professionally lacquered' EC cameras have been sold at auction. Certainly they appeared on Ebay in January 2001 and have been sold and resold since.

The finish on the cameras is well done and the MINOX name a perfect match for those made by Minox on production EC cameras. It might even be fun to have a red Ferrari EC or a yellow Porsche EC camera, but mostly these are sold without disclosing that they have been air sprayed and never left the Minox factory in this form. Many are early EC cameras, picked up on auction for under 40EUR and then professionally sprayed and sold with an asking price of over 200USD. Some have sold for over 450USD. There is mention of warranty on these cameras.

The only commercially available non-black EC is the Riga-blue Minox Club Special Edition sold to club members in December 2003 directly from Minox GmbH.
