Guest w411y Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Excellent guide and tempting me to do it more :) Did you put the buttons in the oven aswell it looks as if the ink melted? Did you not paint/spray it white after sanding it down? I think I'm going to use spray on mine. Still undecided on colour/s. Either something random like creme or a nice white glossy ipod finish. The silver frame around the glass on mine could also do with a touch up. Just incase I do want to use paints rather than spray, what paints did you use? EDIT: Sorry jsut noticed you used enamel paint Edited June 2, 2006 by w411y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Sorry jsut noticed you used enamel paint No i didnt put them in the oven, the buttons are just suffering from over use ;) the casings are already white plastic so itd be a waste of time reali. however i would recomend that you do if you decide to paint a c500 which is black :) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sporkguy Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Blimey, that purpel colour is ugly as hell... HOWEVER, I'd like to see that done to make it black like the C500... mmm nice! I may do the red and black one to my C500 to breathe some life back into the old sucker. Any photos of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually looks alot better in the flesh, that K750i camera gives it an off colour, instead of bright purple its actually plum coloured :) I'll get some photos of my c500 when i get it back, me and my gf swapped phones so i could paint hers purple lol. But be warned its paint job isnt that good due to all the finger prints. and i dropped it :) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest w411y Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Just bought my White and Dark Metallic Blue enamel spray paint. I really think I'm gunna muck up. Ah well. I'm also going to spray the silver around the screen. Its scratched to death mine so I'm going to do it white :) Pics tomorrow hopefully. Nice C600 haha would of looked better if youd left the silver edge around the screen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest w411y Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I havnt reassembled my phone yet as the paint is still wet but I know the edge around the screen is not going to look good in white :) The blue however is looking georgous :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w411y Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 The white... yes it is foul, and my rubber aerial cover is buggered from where my mate tried removing it to see what it was :) Why he didn't just ask me I dont know. But I ordered parts from fluffcat1 to replace them ;) (See Here) But the blue is beautiful :) The pics dont really reflect its colour if you were to actually see it.
