[Leica] M4-P black chrome finish problems

["Mike Gil" <pasuno@hotmail.com>]

I've been following the tread conversation concerning bubbles in the finish 
of cameras.  I have a M4-P that I have worn down the finish to a shinny zinc 
thru out most of the top plate.  I'm concerned that the zinc might 
desintegrate or turn green which it has not.  Some of the things I've like 
to know are:

1  Will the zinc turn green or desintegrate on my camera and what can
I do about it,

2  Can I have it refinished or painted black?  Has someone out there
had this done and how much did it cost,

3  If I would attempt to paint it black, how could I do this? What materials 
should I use, how do I remove the top plate and dials?  Has anyone done 
this, any picture to show the results.

Thanks for any advice the lug has to offer.  I really like my camera and do 
not wish to get rid.
