While yellow is not at ALL one of my favourite colours, I think this is pretty sweet... and I VERY much applaud the work. I'm of the opinion that our gear should in some way reflect the people we ARE -- like cell phones, computer cases, cars, etc -- functional, yet individual and expressive.

--First, unscrew every screw there is to un-screw.
All but the 4 screws on the metal mount, which does NOT hold the
body in it's place. You will need to remove the neck-strap from the
frame, before you can remove the body. First thing that will come
off is the rear panel. The last (hidden) screw is behind a circular
plastic cap, above the arrows, which you rem with a needle. Whe the
back has come off, it will be connected to the body with a flat
ribbon cable, which you have to un-plug on the main-board, by
lifting the cable-lock. De assemble the back further, and keep only
1 back panel and 1 cf-door, all plain plastic body parts, removed
of all knobs and screws. Also remove the "glas" which protects
lcd's by pressing it firmly and evenly from the inside out. Next,
you need to remove the front body part. This can only be tone, when
you have remove a single screw, below the cf-compartment, which
holds a plastic cover. You can pul this cover out, which will then
reveal 2 holes from where you can remove 2 hidden screws which go
back into the grip. I presume you have removed both the battery and
the CR2032. You can now remove the front panel from the frame. You
will need to jack the bottom with a flat-head screwdriver, to have
it come of from the tripod mount. You then have to remove the red
ir-glass and the clear red-eye lamp cover from the front of the
body. The grip is very tricky. When you have removed the 4 locks
keeping it to the body, it is still glued to the body. I broke the
locks, then cut away the glue. WARNING: With the front and back
panels removed, the left side of the frame reveals a CAP, the flash
capacitor. IT IS CHARGED and WILL shock you if you touch any of the
tips it is soldered on, while simultaneously holding the frame
(ground), with 300V shock. I was warned about this. I fogot about
it until it was to late. I still have a mark on my finger !! Now, I
asume you have removed all screws you can see that removes the
body. Even the diopter screw and 3 screws on the flash need to be
removed. But to remove the top body part, you will need to desolder
2 thin blue wires, 1 thin red and wone thin white wire, which comes
from the flash unlock mechanism. Make a schematic or take a
picture, so you know for sure where to re-solder it later. You also
need to Desolder wires coming from the (charged) flash cap, those
are 2 thick wires and 2 thinner wires, which come from the flash
head itself. When you have desoldered these 8 wires, the top will
come off, revealing another headache. You can unscrew the flash
itself from the top body and remove it, now that the wires are
desoldered. You may have to remove some black glue, which keeps
these wires into place. Enscrew the metal plate below the exposure
dial and on/off switch. Remember in which position it was prior to
deassembling. When this plate is removed, you will find a scre
which holds the dile on the body. Remove it, and observe the coper
leads and their position. You must also remove the flash release
mechanism. Unscrew all you can unscrew and save the 2 pins
sticking out of the body. One is black, the other is white. The
hot-shoe is tricky. You can only remove the ground plate, by
pulling back on the back plate on top of the shoe. This will reveal
4 screws, which release some stuff from the hotshoe. The 5 pins
cannot be removed and must me taped down with masking tape. Also
meaning, the parts below the hotshoe, including the release
mechanism cannot be removed. You need to tape it down before
painting. De-assemble the flash-head and remove the flash itself
and cables from all plastic. In the end you will have plain plastic
body parts. 1 CF-door, back, front, top and 2 flash body pieces.
Sand the really good, because the silver rebel pains DOES come off
easily. Sand it donw to the bare plastic itself. The aply a thin
layer of plastic primer. After drying, aply your color coat and
your finishing coating. I hope you have it done by a pro
airbrusher. Let all dry for 48 hours in hot dry weather for best
results. The re-assemble in reverse order. Did you read als this ?
Did you understand it ? Let me know. Pictures will follow soon.
Thanks for your questions and comments. ! (p.s. when I was done,
there remaind about 10 screws, gnag, gnag, gnag

apologies for ripping your photo.. but too nice to pass over..
too bad I don't know how to do metallic green.
--Now just add some aftermarket performance upgrades and you can
start your own Rebel Tuning business

I am not politically correct. I'm honest instead...
