Changing the Housing Colour

[morial]

When I first bought my universal I was terrified by the T-mobile-look, so I decided to buy me some tools to disassemble it and to change the colour. Has anyone experienece with this issue? I have the qtek-manual but I am not quiet sure if this plan really works. I want to revarnish my mda pro in more proper colours but I am afraid that the varnishment could disturb the connectivity.
Feel free to give me some comments or simply a url where I can buy a qtek-housing, I am not willing to keep this terrible t-mobile housing;-(
thx!

I would buy some more housing from ebay and modify that, and keep your original casing as a fall-back.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130070502699 is one example, you could take this and respray it and add a nice finish to it. There are others listed, including a jet black one (which I personally think is sexy) but it costs nearly double.

Hope this helps.
