if anyone is considering doing their own paint mod, there is always a lot of good examples on
this forum about notebook/laptops. Same concepts apply to a reader...nothing any idiot who can operate a spray can cannot do for themselves. worst you can do is need to start over again...
Kinda no different from the factory job I suppose.
BTW, one step many leave out is that a high end clear coat needs to be added over your paint layer. Several thin coat with light sanding in between will do the trick.
Just match your paint to the job and off ya go...bummer there was deceptive/misleading representation before the fact (when pre-ordering you were told specifically the color was mixed in the case material not painted on) wrt the finish/color on the Pocket Pro.
This also begs the question WHY was this device required to be sealed with an outer layer of paint? Is the case material in any way toxic and the paint was a work around for US Customs? The exact reason should be forth coming in the spirit of full disclosure and consumer safety.
If you do order one of these readers I would stick to white or black, or is blue the only color that is painted?
Also from reading
the original response it does not seem as if the color in some cases is homogeneous and throughout the case material, rather it is more like an external dye job. At least for the blue? I mean "the cuffs should match the collar so to speak...but read that post and see the wording is designed to give the illusion the plastic is a homogeneous colored plastic not a coated/dyed case material.
This post backs up that the case material is only colored on the outward side.
