Folks, couldn't resist and bought this from a fellow Leica buddies in Singapore. According to him, it's a Shintaro black paint and this one is a crackled black paint. Not sure if anyone else got this same finish from him? Camera is also CLA'd by DAG.
Anyway, here's some shots!! I love the viewfinder!! Can't wait to shoot some films. Will be using Sunny16 while my friend confirmed whether his MR4 is working.

1.1mil m3 with ****aro bp, I guess unless you can get a original bp m3, you won't see anything better than this.
Congrats.

One of my M4P's has been done in the same finish. It was looking a bit beaten up (and it was) - had a Rapidwinder done in matching finish too. Gives a nice "grip" to it all.

Tom, you should be an expert on Shintaro's works. Post some pics of your M4P. I love this finish over Robert's repaint for sure.

Do they have chrome under the paint, or has the chrome been removed? Wondering about the weight...

If you're referring to Robert's it's very durable. My BP M3 has no sign of use even though it used as much as my MP, which now has brass showing.
