I painted my Homey black, as I promised

I painted my Homey black, as I promised. And since people were interested in hearing about it when I had finished, I'm posting it here.

I hoped they would ship black homey's but no luck
Short answer: yes. Long answer, see the link in my original post.
@Menno
Perhaps this can convince them to ship other colors.
Wow, not that easy to get it open unfortunately...
I have some cans of plasti-dip here, but I'm not going to risk opening it up like that.
I've seen some laserprinters special painted with a marble finish. They also looked amazing.
Stunning job. Minimalistically sophisticated.
I notice no difference in IR signals. Just added a remote and it works just fine.
Alright I'll kick it in then!
"I've got a homey and I want to paint it blaahaack!"
Maar vette mod! Hij ziet er goed uit ;-)
p.s. : klik!
Ah yeah, I didn't make the link between that song and what you wrote. I'm getting slow in my young age.
To be fair, I did post a huge disclaimer on my webpage with the explanation that obviously Athom would never offer any kind of warranty on doing this, and obviously I don't expect any.
I'm glad you people liked it, and maybe a pink Homey will soon be born?
Well, mine is not gonna be pink, eventhough my wife thinks it's a great idea!
I’ve already disassambled my homey, but have to get my hands on the paint. @novaflash can you tell me where you bought the paint? Untill now I haven't found a store that sells it. (Only webshops)
Btw, I did find some replacement screws: http://www.ebay.com/itm/M4-M5-Nylon-Screws-Phillips-Plastic-Screws-Round-Head-Screws-Bolt-/172024912816?var=&hash=item280d7bdbb0:m:m8ebzX89xH14hV1AVOPbT3Q
I got my paint at an online store, www.plastidip.nl. I got the matt black one. (Plasti Dip Spray Matte Black)
Regarding replacement screws; neato. Although I prefer my screws glued together; will hold well enough and won't be too hard to pop open now, because glue is never as strong as a new screw.
Also, what about something like this:
