Looking for Black Battery Cover....

---

Hi i'm looking for a Black Battery Cover for my TP2...

Does Exist ???

I understand most hardware shops will sell you paint that'll do it?

...actually, jesting aside, I did that with black spray paint for a car on an old phone back: forget the phone, it was an old Nokia - but as long as you spray evenly (and for this phone perhaps cover with masking tape the speaker insert grill) you'd probably get a good result

I ordered a black battery cover by Expansys and received a standard grey one. I returned it. Be careful with Expansys and pictures that don't match the product...

Same for Me..


Expansys

And I need a grey Cover. But expansys have no cover for TP2 at this moment

I was thinking of spraying mine flat/matte white...white looks so clean. Ill paint mine a soon i can get a new back cover from ebay..

here's a solution to your problem

Are the covers on the variant he uses in the video of a matte finish to begin with? I'm wondering if the gloss finish on the unbranded HTC back cover would resist the dye?

I did this on my verizon tp2 which did not have a gloss finish tho and it turned out fantastic and so easy to do. Now the plastic cam lens cover and the silver colored trim around it and the vol up/dn buttons did not turn color. Perhaps because they were kinda glossy? Not sure, but a lucky break anyway for me. Very, very pleased with the results. I used very warm water, not boiling hot and as I said...good results.

If your buttons were gloss finished and didn't take the dye, then my whole back case would probably resist it as well. About the only thing that isn't glossy on mine is the speaker grill. Too bad, I wouldn't mind losing the silver color.
