Just started brushing my iPod.

[.calibre]

My first gen iPod gathered a crap load of scratches over the years, I saw a pic of some brushed iPods a while ago so I thought I'd follow suit to get rid of them and I thought it fitted in pretty well with the Apple look.

It's hard to get a proper pic of it and it's not done yet, but you get the idea...

In the flesh it looks REALLY smooth and awesome. Anyone else done this?

[Ultraviolet]

looking good, very tempted to do this myself but i lack the bottle

some reason the second pic didn't work :s

but looks good so far :)

[tgumbel]

I did it awhile back and in my opinion it looks a lot better brushed than shiny with minor scratches. Having it brushed also eliminates fingerprints.

[Elmo]

that looks really awesome

i would do that if i had one

[tgindrup]

That's great looking -- how'd you do it?

[fjv]

nice... but how will you do the edges?

those are going to be hard to make them look nick imo

fjv.

I bet you guys that the next iPod will have a brushed back...Apple likes to copy the trends that its users crate.

I'm doing it with some wire wool and kitchen rubbing pad things. I'll take the back off to do the sides so it doesn't mess up the face :yes:

[Max Veteran]

I should do that with mine. Its scratched to buggery. Looks pretty cool.

[Krpano]

Looks really good...much better than original.

A neat trick to this is that, you can put whatever logo on it.

Just put a sticker on the back where you want it to show, brush it, peel the sticker off.

Yup, I'm going to design something later and mask the rest off, then brush the other way so the new logo's sorta inverted :yes:

[Lan88]

cool. i wish i had an ipod though ;)

if thats a diss to apple, then you are an idiot.

Its better that apple watch what thier users like and add that to thier products.

I think he meant it as a good thing...
