cringemaster Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well a few days after I got my iPod stolen one of my friends gave me his "broken" iPod Mini. Turns out all it needs is a new drive (I told him that, but he's just gonna buy a nano), so I'm following this guide to replace it with a CompactFlash Card. But while its still open I want to do something to the boring silver case. I just dont know where to start. I've been thinking about painting it like this (sans the 16 GB flash card). What kind of paint would I use to do that? I have some really fine sandpaper, but I have no idea what kind of paint would work best on anodized aluminum. I was also thinking about leaving it unfinished (No silver paint, just aluminum), I just dont know how feasable that is. If anyone else has any cool ideas or can help me with this one, please post them. Thanks.
