I also saw one recently where the guy used clear packing tape to make some “flames” on the back, and then rubbed it back and forth with the rough side of a dish sponge to actually brush the steel. Then you take the sticker off. It looked pretty sweet…
If I still had my old one, I might try some modding… but alas, I gave it to gadgetgirl as a citizenship present last year! And the new one’s too shiny to wreck.
That project is right up my alley! Tempting, but I suppose I should work through my backlog first (it includes the cat tower that’s been in the works for 2+ years.)

That’s awesome. I’d love to do that to my iPod but, having no ‘handy’ ability at all, am too terrified I’d wreck it.

Here’s the link for the brushed steel iPod.
