painted my iphone case Space Gray

jpsimon · 07-20-2009, 05:57 PM

the gray used to be royal blue. I still have to clear coat it, but it came out pretty decent. I'm happy with it.

Duhst · 07-20-2009, 05:59 PM

JP your a nut!!! Great idea to match the car!

lpphreakx06 · 07-20-2009, 07:28 PM

That's great, I did the back of my cellphone and I want to do the key fob.

chrisE92 · 07-20-2009, 07:36 PM

very nice. is the case plastic? the reason I ask is because I've painted the silver frame on my iphone different colors, but each time, it always tends to chip eventually. I'm still looking for a good, durable, plastic paint.

first it was gold

and now it's matte white

jpsimon · 07-20-2009, 07:42 PM

yeah it's plastic. i sanded it and cleaned it pretty good for prep... Mine will chip i'm sure, but for now i'm happy

Nice! And thanks for that link to the paint!

You should paint the lower, black portion of your cover red to match your seats...
