Leicaec421 Posted March 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi folks, Any recommendations for the re-skinning job of the M3 in the U.K.? Due to it's age, mine started peeling away in certain spots. Ideally I would like it to be replaced with skin that is close/identical to the original. Thanks!

I'd echo that , earlier this year Alan & James gave my 1955 DS M3 a CLA plus rebuilt part of the rangefinder and re-skinned it, all in all a great job, its like a new camera now excepting for a few dings that tell of its history, once owned by a war artist. My only connection is as a very happy customer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how bad it is, there are ways to repair it yourself if its just edges and nicks, not like the M4 above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
