Default Got bored..a very small DIY mod

After seeing the key fob covers for sale on ebay, I decided to paint my key fob to match the exterior of the car. I opened up one of the key fobs, removed the small circuit board, and then sand the surface with 800 grit sand paper. I then sprayed couples layers of gunmental spray paint (to match my silverstone exterior) followed by a thick layer of clear coat. I also polished it a bit but it really was not necessary. I think it would have come out better if I took my time, but a very easy DIY mod if you are familiar with spray painting.
