Exactly right. Most older cameras' covers were made from brass sheet, because it can be easily formed into the shapes needed, and needs no underplate before chroming.The covering plates of the Pentax Spotmatic and similar versions, like this H3V, were made of brass. Those versions with "black paint" can be easily taken to the brass with paint stripper. The "chrome" versions would need to have the layers of chrome removed, preferably by a chrome plating firm.
Hmmm... what kind of paint stripper are we talking about... in theory of course! ?
