Ralf:

Yes, I knew I would have to remove the face plates but I did not know the plastic piece for the access light was removeable.

That color is a very good match to the original Antec grey, I'm glad you found it.

It looks like you painted the eject button for your diskette drive, did you just get some of the paint on a brush for this?

Both my DVDRom and CDBurner have knobs for headphone output, have not painted these or the diskette button so far.

Thanks

Yeah, I used to build a lot of models so I have a lot on really nice paint brushes around. Just spray a little of the color into a cup and then brush it on. Do a few thin coats so you won't see the brush marks.
