I got this idea when my Alps touchpad died a week ago and dell sent me a whole new palm rest. I suddenly found myself with a spare part and got the idea to aquire certain other parts so I could paint them. So I have a backup of all the plastic parts I painted so if my m170 ever dies i'll slap on stock and have my warrenty back

.
I began with this, Screwdrivers, Plastic Primer, Red Metallic paint
