Clear Case+ FORD GT= GT Wizard?!

[badbert]

Ok so I bought a clear case here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Crystal-clear-case-SP-for-Cingular-8100-8125-Dopod-838_W0QQitemZ260116062683QQihZ016QQcategoryZ48677Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) And while working, I was inspired by A black and silver Ford GT sitting in our shop. Here are the results.

that looks pretty good. may i ask where did you buy your case.

You can buy it from eBay a seller "e2" in Hong Kong, but shipping just about a full month. I bought 2 and am using none of them. They are garbage because the holders (places where plastic pieces stickout) will scratch your phone no matter what. Overtime, the places where the case is held on the phone will be pressed leaving the paint on the phone depressed and scratched. Otherwise it will protect the phone real good.

They are not the highest in quality, and it took ten days shipping. But it sounds like you need to trim the "flash" around the tabs, you can also cut the tabs off and use little pieces of 2-sided tape, which will solve all of your mentioned problems.. for less than $5.00 and you can paint 'em any color you want, I ain't complaining!

VERY NICE PIMP! Very nice indeeed. an affortable and less dodgy way to do it :D

[anichillus]

What paint you used? And sorry if I am blind, but you painted the cases you bought, not the phone itself, right ?

And BTW, looks ...WOOW
Nice job!

[banannq]

that reminds me of a friend of mine who once owned one of the cheapest polish cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polski_Fiat_125p) and painted id in similar way (actually he made quite lot of modding inside as well, including chrome-metallic parts that resembled washing machine in a way;)
oh well, there's been a lot of fun with this piece of junk... and the guy's nickname is still "Viper" ;]
oh yeah. i forgot to mention i like this mod a lot, looks very cool!!

I am a Developmental Marketing Technician for Ford Motor Co. I pulled the "Paint Codes" from the door of the GT in the Third Picture. And used PPg enamel paint. I think any paint will work?! And yes I painted the inside. I screwed up the stripes (they should be wider and closer together). But I was in a hurry, I did it on my lunch hour, and still had time to eat! The paint looks really good!! The clear Plastic makes it look like a super thick clear-coat!! I spent a little time on a bench buffer with it. But the paint will never scratch, because it is inside!!

[HINT]
Oh yeah, a little Tip if you decide to try!!! After spraying the inside, no matter how well you mask it, you will end up with a mist of paint on the outside. A little polishing compound and a soft rag removes it like magic!!

Here is a Link to a picture of the case without the phone (http://www.in-t.com/photo/pda/838pro-crt-4.jpg)

Pardon my poor language.. but what do you mean by "flash"?

Just dropped my phone a few hours ago and extremely upset... Luckily it was in its case but a coupla corners still got damaged :mad:
I was about to purchase a replacement housing but seeing this post, this would be a much cheaper alternative... Just gotta think of a theme now and find an artist... ;)

Do you know if anyone sells it without that circle on the back?

Flash means when a plastic piece is cast, a small amount of plastic is left over that needs to be trimmed, or it could leave a jagged edge.

The circle on the back gives it a stable base when you lay the phone down...

could you share the gt theme?

Sorry I missed your post hope you enjoy it!!

[the greyzter]

man, why dont they sell these cases in the stores?????

[fliplyricist1]

that's a pretty damn good job, nice work!!


My wizzard 's casing is pretty beat up due to me dropping it, just laying it down on concrete, etc. I'm really thinking about actually sanding and 'polishing' the body of it to make it more shiny/get rid of scratches....and then buy a hardcase to go over that...

[Lo0o0nG]

Wow... tahts the nicest case i've ever seen. Nice job... you should resell your case... =]

[Rest2137]

I did the same thing(well, solid black). It looks awsome from the front, but I cant get the back to really fit to the phone. I don't know if its my phone or if I just got a bad case.

I think I would have a little trouble returning it painted black though!
