Q: About painting drive bezels...

[Zim Hosein]

What's the best method in your opinion to paint a drive bezel? The drive I want to paint does not have a color-coded replacement available AFAIK and the color is throwing me off. Any help constructive help would be appreciated 🙂

edit: It's a DVD burner that I don't want to screw up w/ a poor spray paint job. As some have suggested, can vinyl dye be brushed on or is it just flexible "spray paint?" 😕

Remove bezel....paint bezel....reinstall bezel.

Vinyl Dye... 😀 It comes out much more even than spraypaint even if you do it half-assed... 🙂

If it was a basic CD-Rom/DVD drive I would, but it's a DVD burner that I don't want to fu*k up Ronstang 😱

Vinyl dye is a good idea on plastic like boyRacer said but if you can't find a matching color just use normal spray paint and do very light coats on the plastic with some flash time in between.

I know Ronstang, but since I never mentioned what type of drive it was, I thought I would clarify my post, cheers :beer:

according to voodoo, painting drive bezels voids warranty, and that's why they dont do it.

 

[wfbberzerker]

vinyl die is the way to go.
