Why are TVs all SILVER now? - How am I going to hide that?

He doesnt want to paint it though, so use the tape. Tape off the front of the tube and use a black card bezel and you wont notice a difference :)

Taking the TV out of the case, mounting the tube on the board and then using an arcade bezel is the RIGHT thing to do.
Otherwise the front plastic part of the TV is held on with 4 bolts. Modern sets only have a single small board inside and they are very easy to take apart and put back together. So take it apart and spray it black, it will take literally MINUTES out of your day. Matter of fact we have collectively spent more time typing about how to avoid that then it would take to do it.

If I were you I'd deffinitly take the case off and paint it. It's realy not all that hard to remove a case from a TV/Monitor and with a can or two of Vinyl Dye it'll be lookin' like it came that way in no time!
PS. I hate the fact that all the electrical components these days are converting to "silver". I'd much prefer the traditional black. I am like totally pissed that Sony doesn't make a single disk DVD player in black. And for those who will suggest I look harder, I contacted Sony and asked them, they are no longer in production...
