M3 black paint at Luton Leica

[TJV]

Hey, since it's looking very likely that I'll need to send my M3 for a general service to Luton Leica, I am wondering if anyone here has got them to paint a camera black for them? If so, what did it cost and were you happy with the results?
I've got this vision in my head that a black paint M3 would be the absolute business and getting mine painted while it's in for service may be the most economical way to do it.

There is another, quite extensive thread about this subject

Search back a few months

The thread goes into detail with photos and costs

Also if you look back in For Sale items - I think that the M3 was for sale a couple of months ago

The total cost of the paint job and full service will be somewhere around 685€ That was the cost for the M4, i will look stunnigly beatifull and new.
