Reddit reviews Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scour Pads, Ideal For Garden Tools and Grills, 8 Count (Pack of 1), Green

I took scotch bright pads and just sanded it all off.
I used the green scotch bright pads but people also use the yellow scotch bright sponges too they have the same pad on one side of it but I recommend going with the scotch bright pads so you can cut off smaller pieces so you can get it the nooks and crannys better.

I also took my mouse apart and scrubbed away took me about a good hour.
I got one wet at the end and wet sanded for 5 minutes to try and make sure it was all really smooth. Definitely take your mouse apart for the wet part obviously lol I had to take mine apart anyway for the paracable.
My hand gets too sweaty for the gloss finish, almost turned me away from buying the mouse until I seen people were doing this. The mouse feels 100x better to me now. And I probably won’t change my mouse again after getting this!
I like the look a lot better too.
Google it if you’d like. Someone uploaded a video on it. Not the best video but you get an idea of what to do.

These scrubbing pads are excellent!!!

Pads

Polish

Wipes

My favorite place is called the front yard. Just wash the car with comet and some scotch brite pads to rough it up a bit then tape everything off and hit it with a few coats of spray paint.

Sure thing, it wasn't terribly difficult.

As far as tools go you won't need much, just a phillips head and flat head screwdrive, and a hex/allen wrench for the front panel (You might even be able to unscrew those by hand, they aren't too snug).

I'd recommend also getting some pairs or nitrile gloves and a spray mask.

Steps:

• Disassemble, keep everything organized. I like to take a picture of every "step" and every wire/cable placement as I take it apart. The inside isn't super complex but having that reference is useful.
  
  
• Removing the USB cable isn't really possible for painting the back cable compartment so I just used masking tape and covered the cable.
  
  
• Using an abrasive pad (I used these Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scour Pads, worked great and you can get them at any grocery store) give every plastic piece you intend to paint a good rubdown. This will rough up the glossy plastic just enough to give your paint something to hold onto without scratching it up too much like sandpaper might.
  
  
• Give every piece a wipe down with a clean cloth and some rubbing alcohol to clear off dust from scouring and any oil from your hands.
  
  
• If possible hang all of the pieces before painting so you can spray all around them without handling them too much.
  
  
• Get yourself a decent spray paint, (I used this Rust-Oleum Universal in Satin White)
  
  
• Spray in a nice fluid motion from about 6"-12", apply a single light coat and let dry for 24 hours.
  
  
• Spray one more coat after 24 hours to even it all out and let dry another 24 - 48 hours before handling it.
  
  I've been using the stick for a solid 7 months since painting going to weekly meetups and tournies and just have a few little chips on the edges, I'd say its held up pretty well.
  
  I've had to clean it pretty regularly as well as the white shows a lot of dust/hand grossness and i've not had any issue with a damp soapy cloth wipe down.
  
  Hope that helps, and I'd love to see what it looks like when you're done!
  
  Good luck

Don't use oil, it'll just gunk up and get everywhere.

If you want to take the gloss back a little bit you can use a green Scotch-brite pad to make the finish on the neck matte. You just run the pad up and down the back of the neck a few times, a bunch of dust gets created, and you're done. They're not as abrasive as most sand paper so you don't have to worry about causing damage.
I've read that you can buff/polish it back up to gloss if you're not happy, but I've never bothered to try.

AFAIK, most plastics have a coating that protects it, but also prevents paints from adhering well. To get paint to bond to it you'll want to scuff up the surface with a rough material (like a scouring pad from the back of a kitchen sponge. Or fine sandpaper if you're brave).

After roughing it up, wipe it clean, then spray on a plastic primer (it's basically a "spray paint" that's just alcohol and thinned out glue, generally clear or with some white color), and then finally, apply the final paint once that dries.

It only cost $48 and I have a whole can left over. I just wanted to see what it would look like with black rims because the sliver paint was chipping off.

Invest in lots of scotch brite green plastic scrubbers! I used to use them at my old restaurant to cut grease from surfaces, grills, vents, stainless steel etc. They're amazing and you cancut em in half bc they're long to make em last longer.

Do you think this is good? Unless I can buy it in the store which would be way better.

Thanks for the advice! I just looked up a couple videos and I think it should be alright :) Also, do you mean these scotch brite pads? Do you use any soap with them?

You could probably find a similar range/oven on craigslist for not much more than a new top would cost.

We've had luck with Scotch-Brite pads to remove baked on crud.

That's what you need and a bit of patience
