    I tried to take apart my HP722C Printer. There are to many clips and snaps that are hidden. Guess this will be it for a while...

    No Link, what I am doing is this.
    I took the back cover off and removed the pedastel.
    I put a garbage over the innards (They are in a wire cage already)
    I then taped it up real good. I taped up the front screen and used vaseline in tape for the buttons... We will see how it turns out.
    Wish me luck...

    I used Dupli-Color Spray Paint. The keyboard was done taken it apart and spraying the top portion. I did clean all the keys in warm soapy water and then oiled them back up. The Mouse was done the same way. Taking it apart is easy remembering how to put it back together is the hard part. LOL

    I Loved Woodworking in Highschool, It was the only class I never hooked. LOL Thanks
    I put the first coat of paint on the monitor and screwed up one edge . My can was almost empty and it squirted a few huge drops, then I over sprayed to much to try and cover it up, yep it started to drip on the edge. Guess I will be doing some additional sanding tomorrow on that edge. The rest looks good. One more coat and then Clearcoat and hopefully it still works... LOL
