Q2 Ghost owners - How's it looking?

For those of you Ghost owners, I'm curious how the light / white finish is holding up? I love the look of the ghost and have wanted to pick one up for some time, but I know I'd be constantly focused on if I scratched the finish or if another camera in my bag rubbed against the wrong way. It concerns me enough that I think I might not want to bring it out and about, which for me would defeat the point of owning it (I'm not a collector).

For those of you who use a Q2 Ghost in any sort of regular usage, how is it looking?

I'm curious about this as well.

The only feedback I've been able to gather was from Evan Ranft's recent video where he mentioned it was not holding up well, and getting pretty grubby. It sounded like he wasn't babying it at all, and it didn't surprise him, but I from this, I gather that Leica didn't do anything special to help the paint resist wear and tear.

I have my "Ghost" for a couple of months and it holds up pretty well, but I do take good care of the camera.

Looking at some M10 Ghost pictures it seems that the paint is not extra durable, but the Ghost looks amazing in person, the Q2 feels pretty solid to the hand, and the Q2 files are fantastic.
