Black bezel for my Lite-On 52x CD burner?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

I would love to NOT paint this bezel, can anybody point me to a source for a
black bezel? I know coolermaster makes an aluminum one that goes OVER the
stock bezel but I am not so hot on that idea. Looks like I may have to
break out the spray paint....

Any tips appreciated!

Word of advice, don't use spray paint. They don't adhere to plastic well.
See if you can pick up some vinyl dye at an automotive store. Costs the
same, but it actually dyes the paint the way stain will penetrate wood.
Just wash the faceplate down with rubbing alcohol before you start.
Also, Like-On makes black bezel burners, if it is still within the return
period, you want to return it and get a black bezel one.

Or just a regular hardware store.

You mean plastic, not paint.

That'd be nice, but not entirely necessary. I've had great results with
just a quick rinse and dry.

bezel?:
