| Need to Paint Drives Black? Here's a tip... If you are trying to get yout ugly cream colored drives to blend in with yout black case, and you are finding that it's just too glossy/doesn't blend, I have found a pretty good "paint", if you will. I was digging around my spray paint collection and found some Dupli-Color (I think that is what it is) Bumper/Rub Strip Coating Spray. It is black paint that adheres to bumpers/trim of your car. It is very durable and is a glood flat black that drives quick and looks great. Its worked alot better than other paint because its a little more thick and dries very even. This would work best if you are just trying to blend in drives with a stock black front bezel. Just a pointer... Happy Modding!
P.S. - I just completed a paint job with Black Metallic Paint and I am mostly happy with the results. I screwed up the front-bezel, and I ordered a new one. How shiny could I get it if I just clear-coated it, sanded with 1000/1500 and used paint cleaner, rubbing compound and then polish? I know it wouldn't be metallic but I don't really want it to be.
