painted my mx518

PowerSlide · 15th Feb 2008, 10:52 PM

same as what unker ianho done not long ago..dissamsemble, paint and assemble back my mx518

im not a good painter and im using el cheapo spray can paint but the result is satisfactory to me

now it look shiny and mtach the center part paint job but i hope got a better cam to show u guys

here is some pictars

remove 3 screw below part(hidden under stickers)

completely remove what necessary for painting and done the sanding

completed

another side

anyway the most tired part is sanding..the rubbery kinda coat give out some funny smell when im sanding..smell like burning plastic

the paint part well 1 layer primer, 1 layer paint and finish off with a layer of cleacoat. Should i put more layer to get better finishing?

well its tiring its dirty but its one heck fun to waste a day

maybe next is paint my keyboard

i have the same mouse and it looks identical O_o

I was thinking about picking up that mouse how does it feel. I think i see the difference but just barely is it shinier.

The "feeling" of it should be a difference since he sprayed on a layer of clearcoat.

The overall feeling of the MX5xx mice is superb(unless you have huge hands) and ever since I got my MX500, I've never liked any other mouse.
