I was also thinking about sanding and polishing the screen metal rim. I shouldn't be too hard pecause when i was a kid we used to polish our mopeds engineblocks and cylinder heads.

These I also saw just now:

I'd imagine the golden one would be an interesting choice for painting as it might introduce a "pearl effect"...
The chrome parts would have to be sanded with some really fine paper for painting though, but that shouldn't be too difficult, at least as those don't look like they introduce the transparent plastic covering the display?
So I want these exact cases repainted to a high quality premium glossy white colour.

If you do it well, could I get my white housing delivered to you so you can sand the chrome off the metal bezel/rim?

I have that white cover laying in the drawer, because it sucks, it is really cheap crappy plastic, it will make you N900 feel like a 5$ toy + the styles does not lock, so it will fall out
Best results will be to get it painted properly

the white cover like the picture above is called flat white...to make it shiny & glossy looks of the white colour you just need to spray a clear coated on the white colour...
is kinda easy task to do it but remember not to spray it so thick or you will get a scratch lines after sliding the HW keyboard a few times...

Yeh I agree with you there, it does feel quite cheap. I think if I can get hold of original housing, it might be better to repaint that.

Consumer Advice regarding buying cover to paint
DON'T BUY THIS COVER, IT IS NOT GENUINE.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Seller talks about don't buy from others since they sell cheap copy's, Fu*king A**hole
This has been yet another consumer advice from frost
