So after an acetone spill that went unnoticed for a little too long I am considering painting the latest GBZ, any suggestions on colors? Its just the standard pink buttons for ABXY, the shell was originally color.

Look up hydro dipping on YouTube. It's possible to do with rattle can enamel.

Awesome as that would be (and quite possibly might be a possible future project) The screen and most on the other components are already installed, I can mask things off so painting isn't an issue, but submersing in water is a no go.

Currently I'm leaning silver with a frosted clear coat - since that is what I have an excess of on hand and I haven't seen a DMG shell in silver. I was thinking a gunmetal graphite gray (who doesn't like gunmetal gray) but I'm not sure how that would look with the pink buttons.

So the silver ended out more gray after the frosted clearcoat, but I don't think it looks too bad, better than before painting.

Man. I think that looks awesome!!!

Indeed!
*hat off*

Thanks, it kind of makes me want to do another one in silver/gray and then hydrodip it in Black carbon fiber film and some heavy gloss clear. Tho that will likely be saved for my FP CM3 build since I plan on filling some holes around the ports so will be painting it anyway.

Looks cool! Any way to add the button text back?

I thought about buying some of that water transfer printer paper, but A. its pretty expensive just for a one off use B. My inkjet isn't printing great right now - I did just pick up a color laser printer tho and C. With the gray cartridge I kind of liked the mono debadged look.

cool - not meaning to hijack this thread, but are you aware of anyone successfully adding button text to the case? my question got me thinking if it's been done for the X and Y buttons, and my forum searches aren't turning up anything (probably not using the right search terms).
