Anyone who maybe able to shed some light on this subject would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In 1985, the M6 came only in Silver Chrome or Black Chrome - the bodies were never painted. The Black Chrome finish tends to become a little shiny and somewhat grayish whith use. There could not have been "shoddy paint jobs" as the M6's were not painted. If your camera is indeed in black paint (and I doubt it), than it is a repaint not done at the factory.
