The Monkey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Here's the APC H15 I got recently: I wanted black, but I got the silver for $200 less. Is there an easy way to paint it black? The face plate is some sort of metal. Any ideas about how to make it, well, less silvery?
oogabooga Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Airbrush? I remember those from my model airplane days - they'd give a nice, even coat.
spritzer Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Masking tape? You could spray it but it would never look nice and it would have no resale value.
n_maher Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Just find a way to tuck it behind something and out of sight. No sense worrying about what color it is.
grawk Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 It's a nyc apt, he doesn't have anywhere to hide anything
guzziguy Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Krylon? Of course then you'll have to find a place to hide it.
luvdunhill Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 recase it into something like this: There's a guy on ebay that sells them for a good price ... cannot find the link for some reason now though
Duggeh Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Rearrange your setup in such a way that it creates a nice silver line of symmetry through the black?

Fitz Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Rearrange your setup in such a way that it creates a nice silver line of symmetry through the black? Don't bring logical and practical solutions into this! Spraypaint the motherfucker.
Duggeh Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Interesting, you can navigate to it from the parent directory, you just cant link to it directly.
The Monkey Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 Don't bring logical and practical solutions into this! Exactly, I have no time for logic and/or practicality.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I've got nothing, but I just wanted to butt my head in here and say, "I approve of this thread."
swt61 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I approve of Smeggy's approval of Dusty.
Duggeh Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 One cannot say that one approves of all of this approval. One would not wish to go so far as to say that one disapproves of course. One would however caution against the proliferation of approval in general terms.
morphsci Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I'm morphsci and I approve of Duggeh's cautionary statement regarding excess proliferation of approvals.
Hopstretch Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Black ones are >$400. Silver ones are <$150.
en480c4 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Send it to me for modifications. I'll also perform mods you didn't authorize, take months to do it, charge for some of the mods, but then offer others for free to offset delays in shipping. Then I'll promise to ship it more times than you can count. Hell, I'll even offer to fly it back to you once delays become intollerable. Then I'll probably just send something other than what you originally sent me. Deal?
The Monkey Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Deal. As long as what you do finally send me does not work.
en480c4 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Deal. Send me a fully function silver APC and I'm sure I can get you a non-functioning black Monster Power unit in 6-8 months.
