How do i spray paint media buttons? fine details

How do i spray paint a laptop without covering the fine details of the media buttons?

Found a pic of the actual buttons:



I have dvd/quickplay and multimedia buttons with icons on them. How do i deal with these?

 

I want to keep the media symbols, so maybe warhammer paints could be used with a stencil to add them after spraying the basecoat?

Anyone tried this?

 

Maybe tape off the whole buttons?

 

scan it, and change color in photoshop. then print it and apply shiny(claer) varnish

paste the media button areas

 

The problem with that is the buttons are led back lit so if i cover them i would lose the light and wouldn't know if wifi was on for off

 

maybe, you can apply semi-transparent(color) coating papper

like a filter glass

 

I updated the pic in the first post with the actual buttons and leds i want to paint.

Not quite sure what this semi-transparent paper is, can you give more details of how i would use it to paint the buttons?

 

So how would people spray the back lit leds in the first post?

I'm also looking for a logo for the back, something simple to go in the center of the lid.



This is the one i've decided to go with so far. I would love to see more designs of this style

 

I think that design might be too complicated to do. Spray painting it looking like the easy bit

 

you can use PVC Color film (semi-transparent) for button

 

I would probably use a photo sensitive coating applied via silk screening to do the icons on the buttons.

 

or, if you know a really good vinyl cutter, they could cut the tiny logos out for you, you could apply them to the buttons after cleaning off the paint that's on them with some kinda solvent, then spray paint them as normal, and remove the masking once it's dry.

OR, you could apply photo sensitive coating to it, and then irradiate it from the back of the button, everywhere that currently doesn't have paint will be exposed then you remove the coating, paint it, then remove what had been exposed...
