Wrong.   Painted plastic is almost impossible to recycle.  The paint is an 
unacceptable contaminant.  I have been involved with recycling computer 
plastics for the last five years.  What is happening is better marking of 
the plastics to identify the type and better sorting equipment to sort by 
color, density. etc.  Many of those European ideas are catching on here in 
the U.S. because the electronics companies see the handwriting on the wall.
