they have diffrent cases that require you to take the phone apart they look good. i saw a black back with a gold bezel and apple logo to much work for me tho..

this one dosent have the gold bezel or apple but still very cool

Disassemble and paint.

I have a spare 8gb that I'm thinking should get the treatment. It really has no purpose in life with my 16gb as my daily user so I was thinking I'd get wild with it.

.................hmmmmmmm I might take it apart tonight and shoot the back and sim tray with satin finish black then clear coat it. Maybe the trim also.....

^^Haha, just shot you a PM about that very thing.

you know what would really look good though? Fire engine high gloss red with that chrome apple on back.

^^True true...I though about powder coating the backplate and bezel. Have done that before on car parts, just gotta get some more materials.

**one1** · 10-23-2008, 06:53 PM

well perhaps the best way to to is rubberized undercoating and just lay a thin skin on it permanently for protection.

anything else? is it only the back coveR? btw, i saw this one guy with a shining rear LED

any ideas on how to do this?
p.s: You would you guys be interested in a acrylic/lexan skin for the phone? totally replaces antenna cover and backplate!

Lemme know, ill get on making one if demand is high enough!

^^Shining rear LED...as in the Apple logo lit up?

Yeah, it can be done but its a PITA.

**msboy2011** · 10-23-2008, 08:08 PM

i may paint my 3G. Any ideas on how to not get the chrome trim or apple logo?

**cpjr** · 10-23-2008, 08:10 PM

^^Disassemble the phone if you wanna do it properly. Then all the pieces will be seperate.

They just don't know when they are ahead or behind.

I am a software guy... the only reason im trying to figure how to make some mods without extensive disassembly etc is because i dont wanna mess the phone up =P Cost me 2 summers of allowance!

Anywho... ill have to figure it out!

^^Understandable, I guess if you were careful, and took your time you could paint the backing without disassembly.
