M9reno Posted January 23, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2020 I’m not sure that anthracite grey, as featured in the M-E is an actual colour, but a finish, Anyway, it would need to match the gloss of the camera’s paint. Look at how much discussion there is about black paint on Leica M2, original or repaint, despite everyone agreeing that black is the same “colour’! 22 hours ago, lenz76 said: Ich denke darüber nach, auch meinen Thumbie in M-E Farben zu "streichen".

Weiss jemand die RAL Farbbezeichnung von dem M-E athrazitgrau? man! man! sorry guys... I am thinking of repainting my black thumbie on my M-E (Typ 220) into the camera's body color. Has anyone of you an idea which color (on the free market) can be as close as it gets to the body color? Like Tamiya or Prosol ... or maybe a RAL code ... Any hints apprciated! cheers Lorenz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, i had them on the phone 3 years ago where i was thinking of upgrading to a M9P. They were pretty fast in denying that conversion, as well as giving more information about the paint of the M-E. Maybe back in the days, where everybody tried to get his M9/P a new sensor, also let some scammers surface, which tried to make money with (too)old M9s... Welcome, dear visitor!

AceVentura1986 Posted January 24, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 24, 2020 I went the opposite route and bought a silver tone Thumbs Up for my ME. The silver tone coordinates very nicely with the shutter dial and shutter release. I’ve compared it to another ME I saw once with a body colored Thumbs Up and liked mine much more.

If they wont give you the information, have you tried comparing the colour with a RAL colour chart? Maybe an online application can help determine the colour. I did a quick search and found this one https://finke-colors.eu/en/service/finke-ral-finder/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko.Fe. Posted January 25, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 25, 2020 Best care for this case is too look up for HCB, Winogrand or just any known Leica photog. No grips, no thumbs uppers. Cameras were hold for hours, days, years and decades. As is. I have no holding aids on my M-E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
