as some may remember, i recently painted my waterfall panel and bowties silver (see thread here), and i wanted to clean up some of the edges on the waterfall. as you can see in the second picture in that thread, it was very difficult to mask into the groove, so the entire groove was silver, as well as some "overspray" along the outer edge of the groove, and it simply did not look right, since the groove does not go above the panel too, so it had a silver "outline" down the sides and bottom, but not around the top. well, for anyone with the black interior, should you ever need to do some touch-up on the black, Testors flat black acrylic paint matches PERFECTLY. you literally can not tell where i laid down the black paint and where is still original panel. i know EXACTLY where i painted, and i can't even tell it was painted! pictures coming in a couple minutes.

cliffnotes: to touch up black "ebony" interior plastics for an invisible repair, use Testors flat black acrylic model paint!

Very nice work!
What kind of job is it to take the water fall off and what kind of paint did you use?

I think I read elsewhere on here that you can just grab the vents and pull, but I havent been brave enough to try it (yet).

Each vent is held on by 3 screws, accesible when the water fall is popped off.
