N900 Paint thread: Post your custom painted phones and cases.
 
Well I was bored today and did not have anything better to do.
Noticed that i had a couple of spraypaint cans lying around the house.

Checked if there was still paint left, I still had a lot so I removed my case.

A great reason to cop 2 Otterbox cases, So you can play with one haha.

Wiped the case down with alcohol.

That was pretty much the only prep work i did haha.

I could do better but since stores are closed right now, I decided that this could work anyway.

What do you guys think? I could have put on some clear coat but I did not have any available.

I'm sure most of you can do better work than I did, I just wanted the OB to look nicer than the dull black you get out of the box since they didnt really come out in any other color.

Anyone painted theirs yet? Or even better, Did anyone paint their N900 housings to make them look like little Tamiya RC cars (with the addition of little RC decals or what not.

That is all TMO. Enjoy your day!

Really!! I would really like to see some decals on that one!

Ohh.. if you but two bits of scotch on the long side and then paint it again you could make it look like a sports car (with stripes).

Hahaha! I wish i did! i do have some decals here but they are not for the phone. Its kinda big. I will try to find my camera and take a picture of the N900 with it installed. I'll try to put a decal or two.

It feels nice in my hand. I didn't lose the OB's grippy surface which is good, One more reason i did not want clearcoat on it too. If i made it shiny, I would have to take care of the case too which I didn't like.
