Yeah, I can get a red one and paint it (which I think is my best bet).. It\'s plastic, so any type of plastic spray paint would do right?! I\'m leaning towards matte finish.
The Leica dots used to be metal, a very thin aluminium or something like that, and I would be surprised if they are not still. The letters show the metal. There is a triangular hole behind the dot, for adjusting the vertical aspect of the rangefinder, with the centre being over the hole. To remove the dot, Leica just pushes a sharp tool against it gently, and it folds a bit. Something like an electrician\'s screwdriver should do it. Then it is easy to remove. New red dots can be had from any dealer, so this is far easier than trying to remove it manually. Just get a few new red ones, paint them all, and pick the best one.
I wonder if the dot would look nice being all black, without the silver letters? It might look good on a black M.
