Best start point is to read the many threads already on the forum about this.

spray over the orange logo on the back cover, everything else needs the "fancy stuff"

honestly, it's not difficult, try following my guide to modding without a pc (http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319675/guide-to-modding-with-no-pc/) , it's fairly simple, however I would leave it a week before modding just to make sure your sf is ok and doesn't need to be returned.
