The plastic is polished black, the logo and text is reflective silver grey. I’m interested in replacing with a custom made cover, but I don’t know the process that was used to achieve this. I have found out that they most probably used laser etching for my iPod, but I can’t find anything on this. Thanks.

Update: I found an Ebay listing with the logo half scratched off, confirming my assumption of it being somehow printed on. I still don’t know how though, haha.

I was thinking maybe a silicone mould for casting resin could do the trick. I don’t have access to a 3D printer and won’t anytime soon unfortunately.

You can try. You can get a 3D painter for around $200 https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNOIaES they basically pay for themselves in a couple of prints.
