Beige to black

[New2me]

Having had some skill in painting (automotive), I've decided to be brave and change the colour of the outer casing of a crt I'm about to buy today.

I haven't decided yet but the two candidates are the Philips 109B and Hitachi CM721 19"crts (leaning towardz 109B).

What i need to know before doing this is warranty info. Will they except a diff colour monitor even if i hadn't pulled anything apart electronically?

Also, has anyone here had a cosmetically modded monitor die but no RMA accepted?

Is there a safe way to do this?...... ie test the thing for a certain period and then dye it? Or is there a monitor testing proggy that will tell me the health of the monitor.

If it's too much of a hassle i won't bother but.........

Thankx!

Here's what I'm looking to do

Example (http://www.pimprig.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2212&highlight=back+in+black)

I'll pracitice on my old 15"er, then proceed with the Philips

Opinionz please, don't let me learn the hard way :cry: ...

Yeah, it's going to void your warranty.

This new Philips 109B I purchased is fricken awesome, love the lightframe3 technology and sharpness. Anyone want a good 19"Crt consider this one. I paid Jack**** for it and couldn't expect anymore. LOVE IT :D
