I was bored and found a can of Dodge Daytona Blue car paint in the garage. Just sold the daytona so I figured I'd use the rest up on the phone
Its a metallic paint and it sparkes in the light. Got rid of all the scratches now if only I could get the clear plastic replaced. turned out better than I thought it would
Too bad my camera doesn't take good pictures. It looks alot better in person

Awesome!! Post up some more pictures and detail the process you took, so others can know... that looks nice!

As for the "clear plastic" you want replaced... what part are you speaking of? You can get replacement parts from BBEnriched, use the exclusive CrackBerry promo code "B3rryPart$" for a discount!

MAn that's great!! I'm to scared to pull mine apart to paint it. I'm tired of the silver

[BLiNK]

cant think of any other color than silver for me ...
looks good though.
Doesnt that void warranty?

[mobiman]

Nice work man, post more pics of it

WOW I'm not a BLUE fan but must say it looks VERY nice. I would be scared to death to even ATTEMPT pulling the cover off mine

[chaszone]

Hey, That's pretty hot. Good Stuff

[damann]

Here is one inside
I just took it apart, carefully taped the screen on both sides, put on 3 coats and the last one I made sure was a little thicker so it would be glossy.
Like I said, it turned out way better than I thought it would

So I'm wondering how easy home paint scratches off
I wold think maybe a gloss coat or semi gloss or even a clear matte on top would work better then a thicker topcoat for fending off scratches??????

[dlnmorrow]

Dude! Thats awesome!!!
What type of paint did you use?

[BLiNK]

looks like you painted over the status light!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!

[cr105]

Nice job, that looks great!

[srd05c]

wow i like that a lot. goood job!

i've had my curve for 3 months and i'm already thinkin about doing this. maybe i'll start with my seidio case first..(if thats possible)

[bmcclure937]

For the record, he did not use home paint... he used car paint

So, I think it should be fairly durable!

Many people follow this process when painting :

1) Purchase backup housing
2) Sand to make surface rough
3) Paint primer coat
4) Paint color coat
5) Paint clear coat

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!

MAybe that was on PURPOSE

LITTLE NAIL POLISH REMOVER WILL FIX THAT RIGHT UP IF HE DOESN'T LIKE IT THAT WAY. i'M STILL IMPRESSED EITHER WAY


Whoops sorry my caps was on

[Abercrombie]

wow, the color turned out awesome

[GregMargie]

wow, nice job! Nice blue color.

[BLiNK]

Im so glad that it went to the 2nd page!

Those pics were HUGE

[Gocanes222]

That looks pretty good. It looks alot sharper in the light. Did you buy the paint or did it come with the car? I like it. I would never be willing to take the housing off. I would be to afraid.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!

i was just thinking that!

maybe he doesn't use it

[damann]

yep painted over it on purpose. I hate the flashing light.
I just scuffed up the surface first with a scrub pad. And yes it was Duplicolor Car spray paint I had left over from my Daytona Turbo.

Nail polish remover won't take off car paint.

[PinkBerryPrincess]

*~*I love that color!!!!!!*~*

[miss_michelle]

Wow! That came out really nice! I really need to do mine.....
