White kind of spray paint was used is what I'd like to know. If only covers were sold in white because knowing me i will attempt and FAIL horribly doing myself.

It doesn't look like your typical White Spray Paint bottle was used...Several coats? Regular Spray Paint peels

Tachi everything you say is so true!
I've painted a lot over the years and although the type of paint is important, I find that the quality of the finish and how long it'll hold up to daily handling greatly depends on the type of "clear-coating."

on my experience, painting metal surfaces such as titan's aluminum brushed finish back casing is quite pain in the a** when you use spray paints in can. since the spray diameter is still big, the paint easily chips off or peels through short time.

I recommend painting metallic surfaces with the ones used in repainting cars, compressor powered air spray. The pressure is a lot higher with that thus the spray droplet diameter would be a lot smaller too. with that, the gaps between spray droplets become smaller, making it tighter.

I did that on my HTC voyager, where the front part of the case has metal coating. The paint lasted as expected. Clear coating is also smoother compared to that of spray in cans. The only downside is it costs higher too especially if you do not have the materials ready.

Default my titan is being spray painted white at this very minute

I have a friend who does model cars planes for hobby and graphic design for work, he is currently painting my cover white but we went to lowes and did buy spray paint in a can, if this paint job does not last like was previously stated, i'll buy the more expensive paint and go that other route for longer lasting finish.

here is a pic of my titan halfway through the process! the phone itself is actually back with HTC to get the gps checked out, turn by turn navigation has not been working properly for months
