Do it, it works!! Black out your Trackball!

[g000se]

Excellent!

I saw on Championart's thread (http://forums.crackberry.com/f83/my-berry-bold-235353/) that if you colour your trackball with black permanent marker you get an instant black trackball.

I was worried about putting ink to my trackball but hated the rotten hillbilly tooth colour it had become.

BLAM! Less than a minute later I have a sexy black trackball!

I used a cotton bud to remove excess ink from the trackball casing.

Very happy indeed!

low light - at the bar?

day light - BBQ? sizzle..

Lights out - ooo errr squidge

too close for comfort


BOOM!!! what's stopping you?

Do it now!

Yea but then you have to dismantle your bold,
Dismantle vs. Instant black trackball.
I have also done it with a wicked marker,
Been 2 weeks or so and no colour transfer onto my hands or clothes, hasent faded from usage.
Worked superb

Well to save money you can also dye it black..easy with clothes dye..I did mines black and 4 months later still good.. Why pay for a trackball plus shipping ( that's a ripp )..cheaper way is once the oem white gets to dirty dye it...gotta find ways to save mula ...

I live in RSA. Shipping would be 3X more expensive than the trackball itself, so this method is perfect.

I hate the white (after wear) ball but this doesn't sound like an alternative for me.
