Mighty Mouse mod: Yami

Post by sdh »

Yami
Translation: Darkness

A quick Mighty Mouse mod I did while I was sick. LED was changed to white and body painted black. The scroll ball 'nipple' and slider under the mouse are not painted. The surface is very smooth to the touch though it looks 'grainy' in the pictures, also very evenly painted. Here are two pics, would have taken more but my camera battery just died on me. And does anyone here use mac btw? :)

Looks nice.
Hit it with some polyurethane, it would look great if it was glossier.

Thanks. It actually is quite glossy while not being a fingerprint magnet, but it's hard to do it justice by camera :/

Yeah that would work if I had another good light source, but I don't. I could always take it to the studio at work but it's just not worth it. This will have to do.

It's called CRC Pro Paint. First time I tried it and worked fine.

I actually have concidered painting my mac, in white.
It's a G4 MDD model and I'm getting a new one soon.
But I think I'll just leave it as it is, it's a little more work than painting a mouse :P
