I bought one of those six dollar optical mice from Newegg. The mouse is great. The thing they skimped on was the paint. Yes, it's painted, not colored plastic. It was starting to wear off. I attempted to paint it with some Krylon spray paint and here are the not so beautiful results after two weeks of use: http://www.msnusers.com/1987Plymouth...oto&PhotoID=50

When I painted it I cleaned it very thoroughly before I painted it. Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to paint this thing? Any specific paint?
