Thanks. I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. I was really hoping for a flat black model, but I ended up receiving a glossy black one. I wasn't too disappointed at first, but after thinking about it for a week I decided to take it apart and paint it. It actually wasn't too difficult; sanding it down was the most tedious part. Hopefully you don't have to worry about that, and you get the color you want.
