    Thought I'd post a few pics for everyone. I used 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of "Textured Black" and "Flat White". They came out quite nicely, though I might sand down the white to get rid of a blemish.

    I went with textured black because I hate slippery electronics, hopefully it will hold up in the long run with all the skin oils and such! Next thing we need to find is some replacement buttons, lol!

    Thanks Texrat, couldn't have done this without your awesome contribution to the forum!

    Very nice idea (textured paint)! I need to spend some time painting up a few... just been too humid here in north Texas lately.

    And you're welcome! There's plenty more, folks!

    If I could find rubberized paint, I'd order a few more faceplates from you lol =)

    (Kind of like the Dash backing, I've seen a few electronics with this soft feel)

    Just order from me and do it yourself.

    I really like rcadden's camo job shown in the faceplate thread. very nice.

    Oh, and soft touch paint would be VERY cool!

    The closest thing I could find to what you're talking about is "Plasti-dip". Which could be found in Home Depot's (US Home Improvement chain). Other than that, I don't know, I've been trying to find this since I got my e816 Motorola Phone, same rubberized paint...feels cool.

    See my face plate thread in the "Accessories" section.

    I'm not really selling them, just charging for shipping and handling.

    FYI, unTouched: yours went out yesterday.

    I'm considering snagging some more, Texrat, if I can come up with some cool painting ideas.
