Hey Guys!

Sorry the pics are not that great...I'll try and post more later!

here it is.....3 paint coats and 5 gloss coats later....I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out !

let me know what you think...good or bad.

oh and it started as a titaninum 8310 (Rogers)

[Garz]

I am impressed! Came out really nice. Good job!

[94xenonkit]

Thanks!!

Its less baby blue and more "electric blue" in person. The color is called "brilliant blue"

multiple layers on clear coat is a must !!

[Garz]

I would not be brave enough to try. Good thing I love my crimson red color.

[bmcclure937]

Wow... that is amazing! Looks like a great job to me. Seems like just as good of quality as a "colorware"

[CeoStatus0]

not bad...

[chai15]

It looks great.

[SimeonAS89]

Looks good!
Awesome job.
Keep up the good work!

Nice, what kind of paint did you use?

[underpaidsux]

Niiiiice

Nice, what kind of paint did you use?

Thanks !The paint brand is "Tamiya Color" the color is "Brilliant Blue" Its for plastics....RC cars I believe. I used "testors" clear coat because they were sold out of the Tamyia clear coat....but both worked very well. Picked them both up from a Shaver & Hobby shop.

I think the key to coming close to the Colorware look is doing a lot of clear coats. I used almost the entire can....and did it over afew days ( was able to use my old 8800 while my curve was in pieces)

Did you use a primer?

[Sim1Dan]

Oh and your blueberry is hot!

[94xenonkit]

Did you use a primer?

Thanks!

No Primer...just used a super fine "sanding stick" (looks like a super soft nail file) on the case before I started to apply to paint.

They should be available at Shaver /Hobby shops for $2-3.

I just gently sanded the case...to the eye there you can't see much of a diff but it should feel a little more dry or chalky.

did you remove the clear lense? or just tape around it?

[kentville]

Cool color.

[blemoon42]

wow that looks awsome looks professionally done i love the blue color too.

[wild style]

Looks great! My only minor suggestion is to get a black keypad to complete the look.

Looks fantastic! I was going to order a shell from RIM and have my body shop paint it Rosa Red to match my 430. now I might try it myself. You've insipred me. Great job!

[neicy17]

Nice work, it does look electric blue. Congrats!

[94xenonkit]

did you remove the clear lense? or just tape around it?

Just taped around it. I used clear scotch tape and then carved around the edge's with a saftey pin to make sure i got as close as possible. I did this on both the front and the back.

Looks great! My only minor suggestion is to get a black keypad to complete the look.

black keyboard is on the way!!! I was going to wait for it before i painted....but Hong Kong to Canada usually takes a few weeks. Should look pretty good when it arrives though!

[daglamdiva]

I luv your BlueBerry!!! It looks awesome, good job! If I was brave enough, I would have a different color berry for each month but I don't know if I could manage doing it myself lol...I guess that's why I had ColorWare pimp it out
