Painting A Cd Faceplate


Recommended Posts

I've become addicted to having two CD drives (needed both to install Windows) and I now I want to keep both. The problem is, the second drive is beige, while everything else is silver. ARGGG! I want to paint the faceplate silver, but I'm not sure what's involved. Is it worth the trouble, or should I just spend $20 and get a silver drive off newegg?

u put the drive covers that came with the case, and attach them to the front of ur cd-drive

 

you have to put the drives a few mm back so the ocver is plush with the case

 

i know it's not to detailed but you'll easily find how-to's on it

those NEVER match up. tried them before, not only do they not match up the drive, they look silly

 

anyhow, take the face plate off the drive, spray paint it's . with silver metallic, 2 light layers, then clear coat it. and when you're done you have a silver drive.
