Painting the Mouse

[ucan]

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a Logitech MX 1000 mouse and I use it with Apple BT keyboard. I'm planning to white paint the mouse to match the keyboard and my mac mini.

Do you have any DIY links which paint to use/ how to paint etc?

Thanks guys,
ucan

i wouldn't. its hard to keep it smooth and nice looking.

It's not hard to make it look nice and professional, it just takes time and patience. Here is a case spray painting tutorial, you basically do the same thing minus a few steps depending on what overall look you are going for.

Happy modding!

I'd use acrylic and airbrush. Then maybe seal with a lacquer.

How about the new Krylon plastic paints (http://www.krylon.com/main/product_template.cfm?levelid=5&sub_levelid=10&content=product_list)? They claim one doesn't need sanding, primer, clear etc. Just spraying the new color will work.

Does anyone have any experience with this product?

Nice!

I'm going to pick up the white Logitech S530 Mac set for the mouse only to match my other mac stuff

The cradle looks like a toilet seat.

I agree with that

The paint job could be better. But not bad.
