Ok im sure you all have had this question before. I want to paint my monitor, but i need advice because god knows,..im not a pro..hehe. I have a gateway ev700 17inch crt, i want to paint it. What would be the best way about doing this? Do I leave it assembled ( That way I preserve my life..hehe) or take it apart?
I know the problem Ill have is the vents if I leave it together. If i do disassemble it, will the screen itself pull from the front panel or will I have to tape over the glass to paint the front section of the shell? What should I touch and Not touch when taking it apart. I understand how dangerous crts are even when unplugged, and I dont like pain..hehe. I also have a question about the type of paint. Will testors model car spray paint work if it is applied? or will I need to do a full sand and primer job? Any suggestions or warnings you can give me will be greatly appreciated. thanks..
