Give it a light sand - then use a spray called plasti-coat After that drys - sand again - another 2 or 3 coats and finish with a gloss or matt varnish coat DOug

Somebody here replaced the matte-black fascia on the wheel itself with a carbon-fiber plate. I bet it looked swell. "Morris Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Looks sweet =) Any pics of the procedure itself? And maybe some tips... :) BTW, has anyone painted the pedal base? I've been thinking about painting my MOMO ever since I bought it (actually I got the idea after my wife asked "was that the only available color" as I unpacked it ;) -- - Igor -

Yeah, i painted mine last week. The wife was just finishing off painting a blue suede-effects feature wall in the spare room and it looked really good, so i thought...why not ! My new suede-effects momo does look at bit silly, but hey it's original :-) I was too lazy to remove the base plate and just taped the edges and used a coat of acrylic primer to hold the paint. Cheers Phil

Get some carbon fibre - the sort that's a sandwich of CF - FG - FG - FG - CF ( FG=fibreglass) This is just thick enough to replace the metal one get a 5" x 5" blank - cover it in masking tape to minimize splinters - take the metal plate of your momo and use it as a guide to draw onto the masking tape Use a dremel (wear a mask -it's HORRID stufff) to do the cutting - and when doing the holes - use a small pilot hole and just use a slightly larger and larger drill to avoid splintering. Countersink the mounting holes quite a bit - clean the whole thing up - and whack it in. Enjoy countless hours of Carbon Fibre induced Momo goodness. Doug

Wowza! Looks great, Doug! "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dc5n9.12273$J47.1099454@stones...

Use Vinyl Dye, this seems to be perfect for painting a Gameboy Advance, so it should work just as well with the Momo. It's apparently relatively easy to apply, the result doesn't look like it has been painted and it doesn't stick or chip. Check this thread at the handheld modifications forum at GBA Central: http://www.gbacentral.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=17&t=1466&hl=&s=93d0f046 4cbc464e3961c6310c673733 Do a search for more tips on painting (the GBA in this case). best wishes, Milan

I have no idea where to start looking. Thanks for the tips though :) BTW, I just got an idea for the new colour for my MOMO... the usual "computer grey" =) That'll fit nicely with the "new" case I just got for my computer... It's an old Fujitsu/ICL AT desktop case which used to house a Pentium 100MHz. Still needs some modifications before I can fit all the ATX stuff in it =) -- - Igor -
