Oh and Question... you painted the carriers... what did you paint them with... or have someone paint them with... I'm thinking about painting mine...
I used VHT high temp engine enamel. If you decide to paint them make sure you clean them very well and then wipe them down with denatured alcohol before painting them. I also used a tack cloth to remove any dust on them right before I shot them. Additionally, mask off the areas where the carrier makes contact with the buttons and the disc.
