Title: Painting a cover
Post by: Fikealox on July 15, 2008, 08:29:29 AM: Hey guys,

I just stumbled across a bargain camo Painkiller and jumped on the deal a bit impulsively. I'm wondering if any of you know what the best way to paint the cover black would be? Or failing that, how easy/hard it would be to remove the cover altogether.

Thanks!

Although Tim does wind it differently to compensate for the cover, but I don't know if he would do that, you will have to wait for someone else to confirm it.
