mouse mod help

[MarcwithaC]

so i did a pretty cool mouse mod with a window and some blue led lights on a microsoft intelli........

i have a silver alloy laptop, i wanna paint my mouse, what should i use, spray paint would look cool, but the feel of it would be rough if painting plastic and look cheap, any suggestions on painting plastic maybe chrome?

well im a painter during the summer and part time during school. Unfortunately you can't paint plastics...usually. In this case I would not bother to paint it because handling and rubbing hand sweat and grease into it would not go well....if you were going to use it as a decoration i would say go and paint it whatever color you want but if you intend to use it just let it be what it is and enjoy the lights

yea i guess thats what ill do, thanx alot for the info............wouldnt want to get into 4 hours of halflife and end up with a silver hand............probably rubbing my face, would make me look like a clown by the end of the day, lol

krylon has a spray paint for plastic, that needs no primer and won't come off on you or your clothes

aileast thats waht they advertise, I haven't used it yet.

lets see a pic of that mouse

i actually painted my mouse to match my case and i havent had any problems with the paint coming off except where my thumb rests on the side... i used a coat of the automotive spray from walmart and a coat of cheap clearcoat from Ace Hardware. the only problem ive really had is not that its not beige and now that its shiny (cuz of the clearcoat) the gunk or whatever from y hands shows up more
