DIY ipod facelift

My current ipod isn't pretty. It is an inherited gen 3 (I think). Incompatible with modern apps, but still works fine for living in my car plugged in to the stereo all day. Here is how I prettied it up in under an hour. Scroll over the photos below for details.

You will need:
- a hard ipod case
- new screen protector 
- spray paint
- Optional: sand paper, a sticker or stencil

Lets get started, undress the ipod.

Step 1: remove that nasty screen protector.

Step 2: wipe off accumulated crud.

all clean!

Find a new scree protector, I used one intended for an iphone 5c.

I used the ipod and the old screen protector to measure for trimming, and then Step 3: apply screen protector.

Optional Step 4: make/select a stencil or sticker.

Cut out your sticker to make sure there is no excess white space.

Apply sticker (or tape down stencil) and we are ready to spray paint.

Remember to spray paint outside, and cover your work space!

* I did not sand down my case with sand paper, and there are some rough spots, decide if you care*

Spray!

And here is the finished result.

The case I have has been previously spray painted, sand paper might have helped with the rough spots.

Some textured running on this side, I kind of like it.

Honesty: I missed a spot up here.

Over all I really like my "new" gold case. The apple is a nice touch, and I don't mind the flaws in the paint job. I wasn't going for perfect, but it certainly is shinier.
