USMC case

Looks pretty good! I hope the finish lasts for you.

I have the same mouse, except black and grey and I wouldn't consider painting it because of how much use it gets. I've had mine for less than 6 months now and the side where your thumb sits, as well as the left mouse button, have now been worn smooth and shiny. You can see exactly where my fingers usually sit.
The keyboard that I got with it also has smooth marks. The space bar and the spot below it both are worn smooth and shiny.

Thanks everyone. There's 3 coats of clear on it right now. I'm letting that cure for 72 hours, and then it's going to get another 3 coats.

Jeremy - that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do this time. lol. I'm not taking ANY chances.

Bucko - I'm a little concerned about that too.

I absolutely love that mouse. Im thinking of purchasing my Clan logo and slappin it on my mouse from a local graphics shop.

Looks really good, ace work man. Just the clear really brings out those 3 creases you mentioned earlier.

Thanks man. Yeah, I'm not particularly happy about the creases, but I had to concede that they just were not going to come out.

You shouldnt worry to much about it, most people dont have custom mice anyways, so if you show it off, people wont notice.

Just a small update for today. I got 3 more coats of clear on the mouse body. Pics will be up in a little while.

A little late, but here's some pictures I promised. I also started wet sanding the buttons in prep for clear. ATM, I have 6 coats of clear on the mouse body.

[SgtM]

I'm hoping it will stay that way also. I think that with the way I'm letting it cure, everything will be good to go.

Very small update.. The mouse body has been curing after 6 coats of clear for about a week. I removed the masking tape today. I have 3 coats of clear on the buttons right now, and I'm giving it a few days to cure. After that will be reassembly. I came across a few extra bucks, so I'm probably going to buy some blue and black paint and more sand paper this weekend. I would *like* to get the window cut out too, but we'll see if time permits.
