I see you also having a problem trying to figure out how to paint it, i might be able to help you for a change ;D Auto shops, clean it with a spirit of some sorts, spray it with metal etch primer and then spray on your top coat, using automotive paint.
And remember thin even layers( the thinner the better!) it takes some time but works really well.
Afterwards it looks a bit like a slight orange peel effect, use 1200grit sand paper and go up to 1600grit, after that use rubbing compound to buff it up.
After all is said and done, you should have a scanner that looks like a brand new car, shiney!
;D

[BlueFusion]

that is a SICK scanner... how's the input work? you get an external combiner and lasers to give you a white beam to put into it?

When I first saw that it comes available in 5 colors I thought they mean laser colors, hah It's actually just the color of the case
