Oh, man.. you guys are gonna make me admit to painting a CM-8 and CoCo 3 
with the "FleckStone" paint once.  I got the idea from an Amiga user who 
did the same and brought his system to a meeting back in the early 
90's.  It looked like stone.  I tried the same with my CoCo but I got the 
speckled brand and layed it on thick.  I still have the CM-8 now and there 
are a few chips missing here and there.  I had to let that CoCo case go, 
however.  :)
