removing matte finish from Xpander front panel


 

Someone on the AH list is asking about how to remove the matte finish from an Xpander and while I found some photos I can't seem to find the info on how to do it. I vaguely remember that it's not all that difficult but I can't find any instructions. Anyone know where it is?

Gloss finish Matrix 12, for reference:?

Thanks,

Seth


 

I used ethanol and elbow grease.? I actually did this accidentally, as I was trying to clean off case foam that had stuck to it. ? It takes a fair amount of rubbing and don't be cheap with the ethanol. ? It does not affect the diagrams underneath.

PS:? I was surprised to see a unit being sold in this condition (without the matte finish).? I figured it would reduce its value or even be a deal breaker, like no one would buy one like this.? I guess the fashion has changed?
