Custom painting in JFC

Question

I have an app that does custom painting in a extended JWindow, however, when I add controls (an extended JButton that does custom painting) the entire window, not including any components turns gray. This happens if I use paint or paintComponent. I am starting to think that the delegate UI is causing a problem, this is because if I remove the paintComponents, I get the image as usual. Any ideas???
A code snippet shows the gist
class sWindow extends JWindow {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.drawImage(mainform, null, 0, 0);
paintComponents(g);
class sButton extends JButton {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
switch(state) {
case DEFAULT:
g2.drawImage(defaultImage, 0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height, this);
break;
case PRESSED:
g2.drawImage(pressedImage, 0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height, this);
break;
case HIGHLIGHTED:
g2.drawImage(hilightedImage, 0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height, this);
break;
case DISABLED:
g2.drawImage(disabledImage, 0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height, this);
break;
}

Hi,
You have problem only when adding custom painting JPanel to the same custom painting JPanel??? Are you layering your painting methods??? Like the most upper JPanel paints and then the childs??? What do you get for drawings??? Do you use invoque later method??? What is your priority on the Threads you are using???
