I bought my Onyx2 from a seller in Israel, it had previously been used to drive one of their military's flight simulators. (Our Hawk simulator is still driven by SGI hardware, by the way!)

When I received the machine, it's plastics were fully intact, but rather badly scratched, so after completely disassembling the machine, I decided to flat the plastics completely with the aim of giving them a custom paint job, sometime in the future. It took two weeks of sanding, with various grits of sandpaper to flat the plastics down. (allot of hard work!)

The time to give the machine a custom paint job has finally arrived, so I've stripped it of its plastics. I have decided that I'll go with a "ceramic white" look, as it will contrast beautifully with the translucent sliding door and the black section, where the control panel and drives are located.

Here are some pics of the stripped down machine:


The Translucent door, which will look awesome on a white machine:


The flatted set of skins:


Hopefully I will be able to complete this job, while I'm currently down in Cape Town, or it will just have to wait until I'm next down.
