I'd like to know, too. I've been wondering if at least painting the silver plastic frame on the back might be an idea.. Think it'll come off without upsetting the little gnomes in the circuitry?

I have bought a replacement housing. After I got it I changed my mind about taking it apart.
The housing parts are fixed by lots of very tiny and very tight fitting snap connectors.
It was very difficult seperating even the empty housing parts. To make things worse some parts of the housing are made of very thin and fragile plastic, wich are very likely to bend or break.
Be very, very careful.
@Nipsen:
I was thinking about painting as well. Some housing parts have glued on pieces, like camera glass, speaker grill etc. On the backside the silver housing, black housing around the camera and the circular camera piece are all glued togerther, wich makes painting very difficult. Also on the frontside it is impossible to seperate the aluminum cover from the black plastic underneath (keyboard frame, display frame).
regards,
peter

..really, glued stuck? lol.
I just saw these four- five screws that seemed to keep the plastic frame on the back in place, so I thought maybe that one was possible to take off, while leaving the rest? ..I mean, you're not saying the shiny thing over the speaker is glued to the exterior..?

Yes it is glued on. But this part is easy to remove and glue on again after painting. In this case it seems to be just something like double sided adhesive tape. Seperating the black part of the housing from the silver part of the housing will be much more difficult. Rather impossible without breaking.

be very careful... SE's plastic parts maybe ABS but still ABS is still not steel or something like that. it could easily be dented and thus, damaged, if you're not careful enough. goodluck!
post some photos, please... thanks!
