I always buy two different finishes for two different films. One screw up in a lifetime is enough.
Automobile wax will help to preserve all three finishes. I use several coats of McGuires #26 a week apart and two coats of New Finish liquid over the wax.

Actually that was closer to two years ago that I did that, because I've been acqusition free for some time now. I've told myself no more Leica stuff unless film or good processing goes the way of the dinosaurs. But after all this wheeling and dealing over the last decade and a half, I probably be just as happy if i kept the original M6 and lenses.

I think every black paint camera should aspire to the above ... a life well lived and well travelled

Well, hey, that's a kewl observation! But here I am with a chrome M3, M2, and M6 lined up on my computer desk, looking for the weirdness in the M6, and it just doesn't happen. I don't even care whether the M6 looks weird, but I can't see it.ghost said:

Really, go with Black Chrome.
Black Paint was meant for brassing (if you're going to use the MP). Black Paint is beautiful...but I'd have to treat that MP better than I treat my ****, and that just isn't fair.
Black Chrome.
