It's a ball.
Sulfuric acid should do the trick. The downside, of course, being that the mass of the case gets reduced along with the opacity.lulzfish said:I'm going to paint mine transparent.

I wonder if its possible to stencil paint patterns (like tribal designs) on the case.

Homer Simpson has a technique for turning things transparent without having to reduce case thickness. You could try that!
It is possible to make gold or silver case out of black by using aluminum/copper powder and some aerosol glue/varnish. But i'd recomment to take it apart before painting.
here's guide by steps:
1-disassemble the case.
2-cover with aerosol glue/varnish.
3-sift some aluminum or copper powder at glue covered area, you should do if fast, while glue is still wet.
4-wait few minutes.
5-wash it under water, so there isn't any excess powder left and dry it up, you can also use soft brush to remove excess powder.
6-cover again with aerosol glue or varnish.
7-profit!
This way I painted my old GBA (not SP) which is now RIP

Metalic red lid and matte black base... (NDS Crimson is its name, if I recall correctly)

You think your method could do this?
I would love to have a third metallic red gadget... Those are very sexy

Alternatively: http://www.airbrush-kits.com/ Do a few test runs on paper or some old T-shirts first, and you've got the kewlest Pandora in town (and maybe even the only one :blink: ). If you go all out, you'll have photorealistic flames all over that thing....
Or you could use plaster molding to recreate the case in copper, bronze, or whatever!
EDIT: typo's and such

I agree. It would be great if the could make the first batch visually distinct to reward the people who preordered. Maybe they could paint an official "First Batch" badge on the cases for the first 4000.Shaun. said:
