Well, as a confirmed Red Dot hater, I have painted my red dots with black
enamel.  It took me about one hour per camera to paint the dot with a very
fine brush and then remove the black paint from the raised "Leica" lettering.
The result in a black dot with siver Leica lettering.  (They really do look
much better to me).  PS, I also painted the center of the lens release buttons
from red to black also.  Down with the red......
