Did you actually need to dissasemble the drives to get the cover off, or did you just mask around the sides?

looks awsome

So simple just a piece of tape around the sides and tape the label. At first I was gonna remove the screws and put them on later for nicer effect but why take a chance of letting dust inside.

The paint is pretty nice, its called Metalcast. I bought it from the auto parts store for $4. To make it nice It has to be silver paint first (polished metal better). Its kind of like a candy apple Semi transparent so it alows the color underneth to come through. I think a gold base coat would look nice too.

Anyway the cool thing is anyone can do this stuff, you dont need a compressor or spray gun or even fancy paint. And the cost is minimal.
