What kind of setup did you use to paint the Mac Classic? I've got a slightly
yellowed Mac Classic shell that is about 2/3 of the way to being an aquarium
and I have been wondering about repainting it. How did you guard against
painting over the "Macintosh Classic" and apple logo? Did you just repaint
the model name after it was done? What kind of paint did you use?
