Guest hal9k Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Since my SPV E200 was a bit scratched, and with lost portions of paint on a button, I decided to paint it and to change its look at the same time. I've seen the Sharp GX25 Ferrari Edition and decided to make something similar with my E200. Here you can see the original pieces of the E200 fully dismantled: Once dismantled I used sandpaper to remove the old paint and then I used spray cans of Tamiya painting, these paintings are used to paint scale models. This picture shows the pieces already painted: And finally, the finished Voyager "Ferrari Edition" :): Now, who is next? :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the logo... yes and no. It was printed over a printable water decal paper from SuperCal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there was no screen :) The phone was dismantled entirely. The front piece is indeed made of two pices, the main one and a screen frame which is mounted over it.

If you want a lasting painting you must paint each piece several times, waiting the recommended drying time, and finish with several layers of transparent lacquer. Anyway this paint is more sensible to scratches and so, you should be delicate with your phone once painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
