Hi there
I have some Rode NT2 bodies which I want to use to build some mic circuits
What do you guys recommend to use to fill the logos and the switch holes (won't be using them)
The finish is Nickel Plated brass.
Will epoxy cement/putty work. Any particular brands?

 
Dont know if this is the best way,
but I got ok results in this http://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=56829.msg724581#msg724581
by first cleaning body with thinner etc. then I filled that logo with layers of paint with toothpick(and sanding between layers-> so theres paint only "ON" engraving)

For some mic I hided holes by wrapping tape around the outside of body and then filling the hole with epoxy glue  from inside of the body, so when I remove the tape I get fairly smooth surface on the outside..
