Hi Vicki, I've got two that I'm working on. A 3400 and a 270c. The 3400 has one blemish mark on the top that I want to polish off without making the polished area stand out from the other plastic. The 270c has marks from sliding into a dock. I'm going to sell the dock and just go with my mini dock. I could paint the case and probably the mini dock too. Painting the 270c would definitely mean no insertion into a dock or the paint would scrape for sure. How did you prep the plastic for paint (other than emery pad sponge sanding)? Did you use a primer, if so what kind of primer? And what about chipping the paint? I would think that would be easy to do unless the paint is somehow baked onto the plastic. I'm presuming plasti-cote is a durable paint - right? I could easily get into painting the 270c. Chuck

When doing the cosmetic's it is the amount of pressure you apply that will define how shiny the book will end up. And if you want to get it back to the new book feel you need to use plasti-cote spray paint. Vicki. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
