Anti-reflex paint for lens adapter

(1/4) > >>

MEPER:
I have this RAF-Camera adapter and when using it especially with flash I get flare.
Image attached shows how the internal of adapter seems to reflect light and I think this causes the flare.
Are there any good "DIY paint" you can use for making the internal of the adapter "anti-reflective"?
Think many adapters does not have the best anti-reflective inner surfaces.....?

rosko:
Gluing some black velvet fabric could be an alternative solution ?

MEPER:
Yes, maybe.....some kind of thin black felt?
I think for this conical shape......maybe paint will be easier....?
What does Nikon use for the internal parts of cameras, lenses etc.?

Snoogly:
I only Googled, but there do seem to be solutions (pardon the pun)...

MEPER:
Thank you!
The German "telescope-paint" seems perfect......38 Euros + shipping.....expected to cost a bit more than just normal paint......
