Remove the cover from the Dac. Before you do that look how much room is left between the side of the cover and inner side from top of the dac. Because there will be paint added to the cover maybe it could happen that it won’t fit. You can also remove some blue paint from the side of the cover by sandpaper. (I did not btw)
Unscrew the PSU and push it a bit to the side so that you can unscrew the touch screen. After you have done that make a picture or remember how the connector to the screen is placed. Because i think you can place the connector back the wrong way.
I removed the screen out of the box.
Screw the PSU back into place
After that you can pull out the 5 switches. Do it carefully they are very tight mounted in the dac. Also and that is very important look where the white dots are that are painted on the inner side of the switch. Write it down how they are mounted in the dac.
After that, wrap the switches in tape. Do that carefully so that no paint can touch the switch. There are 3 switches that will be hanging out of the dac and two that are spare and can be removed.
Do that also too the power connectors and the DVI connector on the back. The DVI connector will be staying so wrap a bit of tape around it. The other connectors can be unscrewed and the connectors can lay down carefully in the dac. Also remember well how they where placed.
Now put thick paper or cardboard behind the openings. But do not make contact to the dac. Be sure there is a cm left between the paper and the DAC. Why? Because after painting the paper will stick to the dac and it will result in nasty looking edges. I made these kind cardboards. [
After you have done that put the dac full with handkerchiefs. So that the electronic is protected. After you have done that make a dummy of the cover. (Cardboard or thick paper) Be sure the dummy is 5 mm smaller on each side so that you can put it under the steal supports. Also remove a cm of the cardboard on the corners at the inner side of the dac where the plastic supports are. So that you can have that cm there too. (You will see)
Make sure the dummy is mounted by tape 1 cm under the top of the dac. So that the first cm of the inner side is painted aswel.
I wrote on the dummy at the top of the clocks that they cannot push or touch it there. Maybe you can remove the Juli@ card?? But ask Peter first. ( I did not remove )
If the painter like’s to hang the dac do not use the touch screen opening to hang. Better one of the 5 switches.
Because the dac is full with handkerchiefs you do not have to tape the dummy 100%. Just at some strategic places.
Placing the 5 switches back first remove some paint on the inner side of the holes. Now the switches can be placed back more easy.
After picking up the DAC from the painter i heard that the dac is painted in a room where the temperature is 50 degrees. Ask Peter if that will be no problem. Certainly do not let it paint by + -
Of course all is done at your own risk so be careful!!
My painter was not so happy with what i asked him and kept shaking his head when i explained what and how they should treat the dac. So that was a exciting week for me. But it is back and everything works just fine.
Trying to put mount the cover back on the DAC at the painter the cover did not fit anymore!! Really no way i could get it right. At home nothing was the matter. Temperature??
And please think and take you time for this and do it slow. No mistake's
Peter did not tell but he put a virus inside the box, it's a dutch virus XX is the name if i am correct! 
once again!!!!!
