So those of you that have actually put some wear and tear on your MX500, 700, 900, know that the silver paint on the top insert starts to get pretty shitty looking. Today I finished the paint on the mouse, and the base will be done tomorrow.

Paint used was the Metalicast anodize paint in red with the base coat paint they make as well. The color is a blood-red to the eye, but you can only see that in the 4th pic. Digital cameras, ya know

The "logitech" aluminum medalion was removed and bondo was used to fill in the dimple. I'll do the same to the base as well, hate how the paint flakes off it it, so they are removed.

Once dried, I'll do some 800~1000 grit sanding on the base coat, add another base coat, then we'll be talking red paint in the morning

Thats it for tonight

I actually have the blue paint they offer in metalcast (Duplicolor) and I didn't like the look, so I sanded it of and started over with this

So yea, step ahead of ya

You seem to share a common theme with the creator of Blingmethod.com: Bondo and lots of shiny paint. If I ever need someone to bling out PC components, I'll give you a call
