The OM-3 isn't painted, it's powder coated. You'll never be able to find
a paint which exactly matches the colour and texture of the OM-3 finish.
Personally I think a nicely worn black camera looks great, much better
than an obviously retouched body. I find it gives it character, something
the new generation of plastic/composite black bodied cameras seem to be
missing.
