hey i just took apart my CD Rom and DVD Rom and decided to paint the bezels but i was also wandering will it hurt anything if i spary paint the cd trays as well?? THNX Duggy
I haven't had any problems with my xbox drive being painted, just make sure it's completely dry and you don't have globs of paint on it, or it can screw it up (cd being stuck to tray haha or too much paint slowing it down)
You can paint the tray without problem, but I would highly recommend you pick up some vinyl dye for it instead of regular spray paint. It's much thinner and will wear better. You can get vinyl dye at any walmart or similiar place, its with all the rest of the spray paint.
Yeap, Vinyl Dye is a lot better and easier to use when you're working with plastics. One thing though, I wouldn't dye the part where the CD rests.
He can dye that part. When the cd spins it's not actually resting on the tray anymore. The internal parts lift the cd up while its being read. The only time the cd rests on the tray is during closing and opening and the dye can resist that little bit of wear for awhile.
ok so what is the best type of dye to buy?? and what does it look like is it in a can or what?? ill add it to my list for next time i am in the city THNX everyone Duggy
