My friend painted his with a blue/purple chameleon, you can see pics of it in my photo gallery. I'd love to hear how you did the power light as well. I'm not a big fan of cosmetic mods mostly because I suck at them, but I love looking at other people's.

you take the power button out to keep from painting over it and you also take out the ring that the light shines through

The power button is plastic welded so it doesn't just come of or is able to pulled it off, only way I can see you did it was by cutting the folded plastic bits off, and remelting them to flange over to retain it.!!

I did the same, although i cut off the plastic and just super glued it back. Although the center where the power light is, i couldn't get that off/ didn't want to try soo that has back paint over it but it looks awesome.

I used blue paint tape, tape it down, then I run my thumb nail around the edge, then run the precision knife about the circle, for the middle, I just carefully cut it, its not that hard.

And that chameleon case looks good, you should put some Dz on it. =)

I did my power button by putting masking tape over the whole thing and then taking the smallest exacto knife i could find and cutting out around the ring and center...took like 20 minutes
