You probably don't need to make a new thread, just bump the old one. As for the memory card, you just need a flat head screwdriver. Wedge it in and twist to crack the case open. Try your best not to tear up the plastic while you do it. I don't know if it snaps together or if it's held in place with glue.

Krylon Fusion spray paint is great for plastic. You can usually get flat or glossy black at Walmart. Just tape of the parts you don't want painted black.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

If you take some really fine sand paper, you can buff out some of the scratches and they won't show when you paint it. Hopefully, there aren't any over the logo :(

Also, if you can take some pictures of how you did it for anyone who wants to know.
