Subject: [Leica] refinishing an M2

I had a IIIC painted black by a fellow outside Boston,
but the paint brassed almost immediately. He also made
a red shutter for it. I'm not sure if he's doing
Mbodies. Let me know if you want his email.

I hear this place does nice work, check the gallery
Theres an M6J that was repainted! :

You could also ask SherryKrauter. She often complains
about complications & repairs from cameras that have
been painted. She did mention that there was a spot in
japan that did a nice job she had seen.

You could also have a repair person dismantle the
camera, Then have the shell taken to an autoshop to
dechrome it. Then paint it yourself, or have someone
else do it. Then back to the repairperson for
reassembly.
