Hmm, but would it stand up to a grinding wheel.. or sandpaper..??

FG
Hey Flamegrilled, nice to see someone else with the 250! Funny thing I remember is when Sonic Blue/Rio announced that their version of the 250 would be black with grey plastic buttons, their rational was that the silver paint would wear off. Well, I used mine nearly every single day for over 2 years and it's still in mint condition.
