Wow, really neat!

I am actually about to paint my girlfriend's 7290, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this crazy idea.

I had thought about painting my 8700, but was worried that the clearance around the keys was so tight that the paint would make the keys stick. Have you had any problems with that?

Oh, and for any of the people wondering how to paint handheld devices, a really nice way to do it (though a little on the expensive side), is to sand the unit, cover it with Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, then use automotive urethane enamels, and finish off with a two part automotive urethane clear coat. Should give you a tough, really nice finish.
