RoadWarrior said:Hey peeps, got a suggestion, RC car racers use a Lexan based paint that actually bonds to the body shell, just thinking that that might be really nicec for drive and faceplate painting because it will bond to the plastic and not tend to chip off, or scratch easily back through to the white.
Should be available from hobby stores.

Another thing you can do is to take and exacto-knife and very carefully scrape the paint off raised symbols and letters.
BPM said:I could not remove the bezel for one of my drives, so heres what I did:
-(very carefully) Put masking tape over the volume dial to protect it from getting glued stuck with the paint.
-Used a toothpick to plug the emergency disk-release hole.
-Cover the drive LED with a tiny piece of masking tape.
Ahhh yes, forgot to mention how I prevented that.wildbilly2k said:Does that drive's front cover stick to the tray when it comes out?
