What I meant was painting the actual edges (bezel) of the monitor itself, not the plexi/glass. With the smoked plexi installed, you won't even see the edges of the monitor. Problem solved.

Ahhhh okay good idea I might try that

Got a bezel in granted its not quite the right way to do it but it works for me. Ive either got to paint the exposed white portion on the monitor (tried taking apart the case on the monitor to paint it without spending a ton of time taping off the glass but it was a PITA), use double sided tape to hold down the bezel. We ended up just kinda folding the board to get it in the front of the monitor...kinda half assed but not really.
Also ran two NES controllers to use instead of the Tankstick..and I love forcing our 10 year to use them lol

Nice to see it all up and running. Nice going on the Nes controllers. I use Xbox 360 Controllers for console games and they don't feel half as good as an original nes pad

Yeah its kinda awkward but the nostalgia is in full effect with those nes controllers. Couldn't have done it without your help.
Drnick:
No problem. I should be putting mine all back together again at the weekend. The Gloss black has cured so time for the clearcoat and artwork. I'm half wishing I had just left it alone, put the side art/t-mold on and called it a day. But as my mother said, "If a job's worth doing it's worth doing right". Although ignoring that try using permanent black marker on the white bit of the monitor, it maybe easier then trying to paint and you got nothing to lose in giving it a go.
