I think I should stay away from the paint can...
The photo is deceptive. My masking needs a _lot_ of work. And good thing I've got the original parts and am removing the medallion on the back of the LCD because it accumulated too much paint and looks almost molten.
Still not too bad. This one is a test run anyways. I want to see how long the paint lasts on the palmrests. I haven't found a clearcoat yet that'll stand up to palmrests over time. They all wear through and end up looking pretty ugly.
