To illustrate the nature of the M11 black paint variability:
In this photo, the battery shown in my M11-D camera is my old extra M11 battery from almost two years ago. Even though it has some wear, you can see how the paint is thicker and the texture is more aggressive. The loose battery on the right is the battery that came with the M11-D. Not an exact match to the camera, but it's closer than the older battery. This battery that came with my M11-D looks like the finish from my old M11M.
My M11-D finish is closer to the SL3 finish than it is to the M11 and M11M cameras I've had.
