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.

You weren't very specific in the advice needed....so I wasn't very specific in the advice given.
