sorry to open a thread just for this

Do you know how to erase the white color of the LEICA engraving on the SL2 to make it black like on the SL2-s ?

 

 

I just found that old thread , acetone seems to be the solution

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

sorry, I don't do that - simply use some kind of gaffa tape, so I can easily switch back to the white version, which I like much more

I would never use acetone anywhere near a camera or lens.

You can rather use this paint Paint, Flat Black Touch Up Pen which is removable if & when you want to sell the camera.... I used it on my S1R & removed it when I sold the camera.

Here's a pic of my S1R after I used the Flat Black Paint Pen.  I removed the paint with a toothpick, it wasn't that difficult to take off.

Some Black electrical tape works perfectly and the camera remains intact. 

It has been on my SL for many years and my SL-2 for one.

I cut it in the shape of the body and it is pretty much invisible or blends right in.
