The cover turned out very... uhh... orange. I'm happy with the results. However, there is one caveat I should mention. I've yet to determine the reason, but as you can (hopefully) see in this second picture below, something during the process caused some blackening around the inside perimeter of the lens cover that I can't clean up.



This discoloration doesn't seem to be visible on any photos I've taken with it since though. So unless you really stare at the back lens cover, it really won't be an issue.

Good luck to everyone else willing to make the small sacrifice that is, their battery cover. I'm off to paint some happy trees and sheds. Bob... out.
DUDE! I love your show lol, esp when you paint waterfalls lolz
