I am debating painting just the port a gloss black. The wife says no, but I dun no. If you cover in a tan covering the black would keep with your theme, of course the white would give a nice glow with a few LEDs in there. See you know where I am going with this. I think the port, just the port black and the inside of the box white with LED's would look nice. That's why I went with the white inside so the light would be more reflective off the inside. You have a good eye and I respect your opinion, so I think the boys win this one and the port gets painted black. Tell the wife sorry, You are the Man!!!! Carry-on and can't wait to see the results!!!! If you havn't decided on LEDs I can link if you need options.
