Attention Strippers



No, no, no, not that sort of stripper...

For those of you making Silver Surfers, I wonder: have any of you considered re-painting with appliance enamel? I'm sitting here staring at my stove, and thinking how nice a glossy white finish might look on some of these machines. Now, it's usually easier to get paint off a typewriter than it is to apply new paint on, but still... I wonder.

I hadn't considered this at all. Try it and show us how it's done!

First I need to find a suitable machine, ideally one that is easy to get all of its panels off (or at least the ones I would want to paint.) I got lucky with the Pimpwriter, since the carriage had metal panels that weren't going to be touched by the vinyl dye.
