Hey, I just finished customizing my MPC today. I slid off the side panels and popped off the memory card slot border. My amazingly talented friend, Nishan Sothilingam, and I then spray painted the pieces ivory using plastic spray paint. We tried using model paints to paint the design, but found that that acrylic paints worked *much* better. Air brushing the design would probably work better because the acrylic paints leave a textured look. It looks pretty cool with the brush strokes though - it looks like a canvas on the MPC.
Nishan painted the girl, stripes, and letters. It looks great. The left panel has the same blue letters and the two blue stripes.
After it was all done, I sprayed on a few clear matte coats to keep the paint from scratching and the shininess down.
