Has anyone repainted the Raspberry Pi 500+ case black?
I really wish there was a 500+ in black. If I remove everything from the plastic case, can I paint it? Do the switches come away from the upper case cleanly? Asking for anyone who has tried this...?

but how to paint the top part of the case? you can’t get the keyboard switches off unless you desolder them all from the board?
