I went to an "art store" and bought a small jar of black textile paint. It is designed to be flexible when dry and quite thick and opaque. It extended the life of my bellows by about five years. A good trick. It might work on your sutter, too. Experiment on a similar piece of material before going at the camera. You might need to thin the stuff a bit. It is water soluble when wet. Good luck, Joe Stephenson
