Do you have an unconventional Leica M3/M2 repaint from a high quality customizing company like Kanto?

I am curious.

This is a direct copy of my post on Reddit:

I'd like to see it. I'm talking colors other than black (glossy or matte), hammertone, or the OEM silver (or grey).

I've never seen an unconventional color in real life. There are a couple clips here and there of unconventional colors on YouTube. However, many are brief or have poor lighting and angles.

I am surprised Kanto camera doesn't have any video of their paint jobs.

How is your paint job holding up? Do you regret it?

How do people react to the camera on street now compared to before?

Did you struggle to sell the camera later?

I am curious.

I have never seen one in person.
I have seen photos of a few on the big auction site, and the black repainted ones look pretty.
I'm not their target audience, however.

If it's enamel metal paint it should hold up pretty well unless you scrape the camera with a metal object or over rock/concrete.
