How did you strip the chrome? And can you tell us what your paint process was? I've painted M's, but the paint never really sticks well, and it doesn't quite achieve the nice patina that a 40 year old authentic Leica does. But maybe by 2050, they will look nice.

The camera wasn't particularly beat up, but it certainly wasn't pristine...I'm still not sure why I did this, but I am pleased with the results. Thanks, Craig Zeni Cary NC
