Can the metal part be completely removed from the clear part? I'd like to try to spray paint it a different color.

No, it cannot. I was disappointed that you could see the entire metal undercarriage (for lack of a better word). I glued colored stones across the top but still was not happy with the result. In the end I tossed it... It wasn't the best made stapler as the section that holds the staples never locked into the top - it was loose.

I don't recall exactly, but I don't think so. It was such a piece of junk that I threw it away.

Why not just buy another stapler in the color you desire, this one is beautiful the way it is.

It does not appear to be able to be removed, at least not easily, as far as I can tell.

You could probably get it off with a q-tip and some nail polish remover. It's painted on. It's also easy to take appart, so it you wanted to get the logos off, you could pull it appart before do you don't get liquids in the electricals.

It can't be removed by hand... It's the same as the black plastic around the regular keyboard. I suppose you could remove it or paint it.

It is possible to unscrew the piece with the silicon and plastic. Finding metal parts to replace it with is a whole other issue. I have not tried to find them. I would first contact Bodum to see if they offer a metal replacement piece.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

I would highly recommend not taking this apart at all. They are made pretty cheap. If you want to get rid of it, I hate it too, then just wrap everything in tape but the top surface and spray with flat black paint.

Just use a magic eraser from the local store. The spray paint should come off without damaging the door paint.

No, I don't see any way the see through plastic can be be removed. Hope the answer helps.

Yes it can be removed. Some screws may become hard to get to but you can remove them.

I haven't removed it, but it is not supposed to damage the original finish. I will probably not remove it unless it starts to peel loose. I don't know if that happens or not.

You can apply it (I've done it) but removing it would be pretty impossible. The glue is very strong.

No. You would be wise to confirm with a body shop. I would think the metal embedded in the rust stains would simply be ground further into the paint.

Yes. Just make sure that you do not polish the metal. Wrie brush it or a coarse sand paper to take off the surface rust. You will need 2 coats. Pour the first one down and it will appear dull. The second coat will look the color you need. Make sure to wear the gloves and to put something down where you will be painting. This paint will leave it's mark. Good luck.

No, no metal parts. The lid has hinges that you click closed. The entire lid lifts straight off. It may just be mine but the paint dries out quickly. My friend has one and does not have the problem I do. She loves hers! Hope this helps!

It is paintable, but takes a considerable amount of work and patience. There is a plastic frame with a metal grill that has a cloth backing. First you remove the faceplate from the speaker (it's magnetically attached). Flipping the faceplate over you can see the metal tangs protruding thru the plastic grill, and bent over to hold it in place. Straighten the metal tangs and the metal can be pushed out, you will the be able to remove the cloth. I used a paint roller to paint the metal on both sides, and had my air nossle hooked up to an air compressor to blow out any clogged holes as I went along. Spray paint is best, but colors are slim. It took be a good 2 hours from start, dissassenbly, paint, wait between coats, let it dry, and the assembly. The result blends in nicely with the wall, and is worth the trouble in my opinion.

It can be removed! I would say depending on the shape of your gun your only concern would be if you did take it off would it hurt the finish anywhere on the gun. I have had mine on an love it an have had no damage to my shot-gun because of it.

The Item glass globe was broken when it arrived. So I had to return the Fan. I am sure you can spray paint the blades to a different color. Since the blades coming in unattached. Or they could be removed with a couple screws.
