If I ever get the time, I want to do a custom paint job
on my SE/30.
Remember the fighter planes of WW2 that had the mouth/teeth/eyes painted on
the nose? You get the picture... :)
I've been tempted to do that too. :-) What kind of paint would be best
for this? And how would you go about cleaning the unit before hand?

Cleaning is best with denatured alcohol prior to painting, it doesn't eat the
plastic or old paint and gets all the old foriegn stuff off well.

Any idea how we might find the original paint color to restore a faded Mac
or other Apple product to new condition?

My ex-girlfriend painted her Mac metalflake purple. She got the paint from
a model shop - it's the stuff they use for painting plastic models. I
thought it would fuck everything up when she spray-painted the keyboard,
but it didn't seem to do it any harm. Worked fine, but it certainly
challenged one's touch-typing skills...
