Here's an example of the kit. I have it hardwired to just red.

Sorry for the crap phone pics.

Thanks guys! I still have this one if anyone wants it. No mods right now.

Secret technique! I sell these shells for $50.

I've done this once with a CGB. You have to be very particular with how you tape it off. Even then I spent an hour carefully scraping of paint that flowed outside the case:

I've been playing with painting screen covers to match paint jobs lately as well. The best way to do it is sand off all the paint from the back or buy an ASM clear screen cover and paint it from the back.

I did this one a few years ago, scarlet red liquid dye mixed very well on the clear purple case:

And I think I was trying to dye this one blue but I used the darkest blue and it came out an awesome black color:

Pro sound kits are also being restocked soon. The small quantity that we had sold out very fast, but if anyone needs one ASAP, just get in contact with me and I can ship you one personally.

I saw these on eBay.  That's a pretty cool way of doing it! Also while your looking at receipts I would live to know where you got that little switch at the top!  I've been looking a for a decent on/off push switch that's is that small!
