It is at least a good paint job based on the pictures.
The camera was a bit dinged up before the painting though.

It's a hasty and incomplete job IMO. If you're going to ask such money for it, it's a bit cheap to pick a body with dings in it. In addition, many parts were not painted (shutter release, shutter lock collar, strap lugs, DOF button, self timer retaining screw). There used to be a fellow in Italy who did outstanding work of this kind, and on his camera (an Autoreflex T3) every metal part was painted (except the mounting ring). Even the barrel of the lens was painted. He put in twice the amount of work this guy did and asked half as much. He did other cameras too. I think this here bozo is dreaming in Technicolor.
