Has anyone custom painted your GPSr? If so what kind of paint do you use?

Haven't tried painting a GPS, but I would assume that it would be the same as most plastic products.
Something like model spray paint would do the trick, but make sure a coat of clear/sealant to finish.

You really ought to check to see if the paint itself is compatible with the plastic that encases the unit. If not, you may end up with a GPSr circuit board only.

No matter what paint you should use, it isn't going to stay, anyway. Not many paints are made to be in continual contact with hands.

I suppose you could try, but...
You wouldn't want to paint the screen.
You wouldn't want to paint the buttons.
Most GPSrs I've seen have a lot of anti-slip rubber on the outside, wouldn't want to paint over that.
Not much left to be painted!
