@Mick_AKA
I dono my friend, photographin black in a non white room will always look off, infact i am quite impressed with the job looking at the pics i see here. LOL i think we need to club together and Tj a white room for photography! I believe the non-smoothness that Ironclaw has noticed is infact the plastic surface. as I have an a1200 that looks exactly like that under artificail light but is not only smooth to the touch its hardly noticable in regular daylight, admitedly i am not that brave for a total black, mine was a creme' |

It is a little textured but the original A500 surface is also the same way. (I just looked at another A500) And I prefer it like that vs smooth... I am using special spray paint for plastic so it should be ok for a while. It wont be used much anyhow...

I like it, think it looks really slick. I can appreciate the finished product too, because I know how difficult it can be to respray. The un-even-ness as referred to is common on the a500s' plastic, because I have exactly the same on all mine.
Dunno, why but this a500 reminds me of Knight Rider and the Kit car (80s) Hmm, Skippy |

It certainly looks sexy although it does remind me of the failed Amstrad/Sinclair PC200! Apart from the keys of course!

That paint job looks the mutts nuts
I wouldnt sand anything and just leave it alone imho. It looks like the o/p used plastikote/vynil dye paint which is designed for plastic. I dont know why but whenever I have seen grey primer on sanded plastic topped off with colour from a rattle can it always peels off and then it has to be done all over again. |

Ah ok lol, I doubt my Mrs will let me spend that much! And it's probably best I don't as I very much doubt I have the skills to get that kind of a finish on it

Can you use keycaps for cherry switches?
I would love to have an Amiga with transparant red keycaps |

The Amiga cases have the Amiga trademark embossed in the moulds. I doubt they can be used without a licence from I guess Amiga Inc.
