Well, since you asked, there's only one.  Scotch Brand #33 electrical tape.
Won't gunk up the camera up to about 185 degrees F.  The finish is a pretty
good match to a black M6 as well.

But the BEST tool is a black Lacquer Stik to black out all the white promo
material on the camera body.  When you're all done the only thing that could
look better is a black M4 or the LHSA black paint number.

Speaking of which, when can we start buying the black Leica roundels? ;-)
