Thanks Gomer. Hopefully it really is metal. I might order it tonight so if you want to wait 2 or 3 weeks I'll let you know!

**gomer713** · 03-16-2009, 04:46 PM

alright it's comeing from HK so it's probabally gonna take a while. it looks good tho. i need one cuz i still need to glue this bezel on to my new housing and i might as well get a brand-new,shiny, bezel. since it's not gonna be taken off any time soon.

Yeah cpjr is going to swap out my black 8gb housing for a white one and he said to get a new bezel while I'm at it. Just finished doing a complete black/white theme to complement my new housing once I get it.

I've bought several parts including bezels from this guy....and he's in New York.

that would be sick

@cpjr you should post a thread for custom painted iphones that would be somewhat useful. all these pictures are only gonna keep pileing up in here this way people would know where to look. just a thought

also what do you think about a 3G custom painted to look like a 1st Gen. i've always like the Aluminium look and black antenna cover on the bottom if it was all glossy and curvy like the 3G i think that might look pretty cool. or is that just me?

**cpjr** · 03-16-2009, 05:42 PM

^I gonna start a thread once I get my pics together....and projects. Currently painting:

1. 3 Iphones/housings.
2. Blackberry Bold
3. Blackberry Storm.

But the iphones and bold are the same color. Trying to get a little more variety first

Well, you could paint a 3g to look like a 2g, would be kinda funny.

**gomer713** · 03-16-2009, 05:47 PM

haha yeah that's what i kinda thought. that B Berry storm is it gonna be the same color the HOK orange or what's up your sleeve for that one?

**cpjr** · 03-16-2009, 05:57 PM

Havent decided on the Storm yet, got some more paint on the way.

Reason for all the orange - its what I already had

.....here's the Bold.

**gomer713** · 03-16-2009, 06:05 PM

hells yeah that looks really nice

**cpjr** · 03-16-2009, 06:09 PM

Yeah shipping is quick...so thats an A+++ for me.

**Jordo_6** · 03-17-2009, 03:11 AM

can someone give me a link to good strong glue to used for the bezel?

I really don't like using superglue. it makes a mess!

The reason they did away with the metal is because the 3G has a second antenna - you'd have to be careful you didn't block reception to that!

**gomer713** · 03-17-2009, 05:26 AM

yeah I'm talking about painting it to look like it only no aluminium will be involved.

The red disabled screen also comes up after too many failed password attempts 0_o

**cpjr** · 03-17-2009, 07:01 PM

True...but if your talking about the phone on post 1.....it waz because the mainboard was abit fritz. Had to replace half a dozen smd's on it.

**gomer713** · 03-17-2009, 08:37 PM

cpjr do you know where i could find a replacement gasket for the screen on a 3G?
