leica painter?

[mthomas]

Hello all,

I just bought an old, worn original, black-paint M4 base plate.

The 1969 black-paint M4 body with which I want to use it is in much better condition.

Can anyone recommend a painter who can paint my new baseplate?

Thanks,
Marc

Is there something wrong with the M4's own baseplate?

I totally get why you want to paint it, but I actually love the look of the chipped/worn paint and aging patina on that base-plate. I'd be tempted to find a matching body.

The camera was a good price because the bottom cover was missing.

I hear you. Send me money, please.
