Title: Simple Customizer De-Uglification
Post by: pfink on Sat, 27 June 2009, 18:55:35

The unattractive Unicomp logo under the LEDs on my black Customizer was starting to bug me. I took the case apart and masked off the LED covers and the rest of the case top with blue painter's tape and newspaper, then sprayed the label with a few thin layers of Rust-Oleum Black Specialty Textured Plastic spray paint. The texture is similar to the case and the color is a shade or two darker but looks closer to the case color under normal room lighting.
