Step 1: DISASSEMBLY IPOD MINI!

The first thing you need to do, is disassembly your ipod, take off the click wheel and the plastic screen. There is many web sites that will show you how to do it!
then start sanding your ipod. If you like you could just polish your ipod with brasso and it will look good too but i wanted to go a little bit further!

i took my mini apart but how do you get the scroll wheel and screen off?

The screen is hold with glue, you just need a hair dryer, put it in low heat for acouple of minutes and then push it down and it will come off! for the click wheel you could check ifixipodfast.com and you will find tutorials to do it! good luck with your project and i hope you can show it to me when it's done!
