It seems that some paint formulas chemically bond to plastic better than others.  Maybe he used a laquer based paint.  I hope the clear coat goes well, and the letters don't shrivel.

@ leirbag

How well did the Sony 5" LCD work?  Was the image crisp?  That monitor seems like a good match to the little A600 for a portable Amiga.  I like how you painted it to match.

When you say "not that clear since it is composite", does that mean you can't easily read text in a editor?  Do colors smear on WB?

Sorry for the cross examination.  I've taken my A600 on the road before and used the RF out to drive a TV in a hotel.  I had trouble reading the text, editing icons, etc.

Before someone hammers me.  Yes, I know the difference composite video and the RF signal.  My point was that even if I love the OS, not being able to read the screen takes some of the fun out of the experience.  

As a side note, I used to take this A600 to user group meetings and connect to a video projector through the composite port.  It was surprisingly good.  The screen was 5 ft across rather than 5 inches, though.  Grin.  If it's functional with text and icon editing, this monitor may be a great buy.
