To Retrobright or not to..

I agree with you BUT you must admit that it takes alot more skill & patience to pull off a great paint job then to slap on some gunk & let it rest in sunlight for a day

The majority of us guys can tell from a block away if a computer we know so well was painted in any way especially when light reflects off of it so i can understand the hesitation to paint on both counts

I would bet you, you can't tell the painted computer. Also, it's not that hard to get a good paint job with these new, modern spray cans. They do an amazing job.
They even make "spray cans" that you can re-fill the "paint". This means you have the same flexibility as using a spraygun (mixing your own colors).

I'm curious about the effect retrobright has on colour screenprinted logos.  I'm thinking of using the process on my Sam but don't want to destroy the blue and red logo while I'm doing it.

I use adhesive masking tape cut with a hobby knife to protect the logos; all you need to do is make sure the peroxide doesn't get to the colors.
