I recently got a used n3DS Xl MM Edition that is in perfect working condition, but has got quite a lot of scratches on the top and bottom of the shell. The scratches aren't very deep so I was wondering if I should buff the shell with some Maguiar's Ultimate Compound (it's a car polish), but I'm not sure if it will work. On the otherhand I could paint the entire 3DS. I was thinking about going completely black with maybe a design on the top. But if I paint the hinge would that effect the open/closing of the device? I want to disguise a scratch on it that bothered me quite a bit (I'm pretty OCD). Sorry for the long post, will upload pictures soon.

you can buy a new set of housing of the MM edition for 13 dollars on aliexpress, they are very good.

Are they authentic or "made in China"?
don't think they are clones. they are to well made, the pikachu one is a asia exclusive, you won't get it anyway outside of asia so :P
don't forget the real ones are made in china aswell. but i think these are as "real" as they can get :P
