By now we all must know how to disguise a black M6, but how about the chrome one? In an office supply store, I found a pen that writes in metallic silver ink. Actually, I think it's more like a paint. In any case, it's a perfect match to the M6 chrome color. Better still, the rigid tip fits perfectly inside the grooves of the "LEICA" lettering, so you simply trace along the lettering without slipping outside the lines. The fluid goes on thick enough to get all those crevices in the red dot logo, too. The pen is made by Pilot. It contains "ethylcyclohexane and petroleum distillate." With a name like that, it probably won't rub off too well, but that doesn't bother me. I'm very happy with the results. Andrew
