Mods:
Removed blue rubberized paint using fine 120grit sandpaper, used sandpaper to get "brushed aluminum" look on underlying metal. Replaced launcher with appshelf, patched in FAT32 support.
My Zire72 was getting fugly like with all the peeling blue paint... and now its pretty!
you want to try this yourself, heres some tips:
1. sand laterally. if you sand in the same direction always, you get a nice brushed metal look, instead of random scratches.
2. don't sand too much. the whole body isn't made of metal, its only coated in metal. sanding too much will get you down to plastic
3. cover up the screen while sanding so you don't scratch it. scratches are bad.
4. cover all open ports, otherwise they'll be filled with gunk.
