Atrix Back Cover Different Colors

[JasjarMan]

Wondering if anyone would be interested in having their back cover in a different color? I can paint them and clear coat them professionally just about any color you would want.

If anyone is interested let me know here or PM me.
I'm located in Chicago. I will charge $18.00 shipping included.
If I get enough interest I will buy some OEM covers and have them painted once the order is placed. You can send me your cover or I can provide one and you ship yours back to me when you receive mine.

Will work it out.....

Will the paint be flexible enough to stay adhered when we bend the cover to access the battery/sim card, etc? This is $18 including the OEM cover cost or not?

Any samples? I'm reluctant to do this without seeing a finished product first.

 

[justdrew]

yea one sample would be nice

I wanted to see how much interest before I went painting my own. Three people won't make it worth while for me. I know if I show a sample I may get more interest so I will look for a cover to work on than post.

I don't want to use my won in case I decide to return it within 30 days.
I will get back to this post as soon as I locate a cover.

Thanks.

I would be interested in this as well, provided I can see a sample

i wouldn't expect it to include the cover cost. that would leave him in the negative after shipping charges, which doesn't make much sense.

Is this thread dead or what? Does anyone know what materials I would need to go about doing this myself? I don't know much about paint types and clear coats and the likes...

Even a good forum about that stuff would be a good start

if you have the time to coat the original battery door in plasti-dip its really sick! i did it to mine and its all rubbery and looks amazing with the two tone black on the sides. then i put one of those $2 mesh covers from ebay with it(in white), boy is it sexy!



a can of sprayable plasti-dip from a hardware store is like 5 bucks and comes in different colors

also note its probably wayyyyy different than what this guy is suggesting.

Yeah pics would be nice. Did it paint well? Like do you have to worry about scratching it off or anything? I'm confused that you say it's rubbery...

 

[Surge1]

well its rubbery because that is the nature of plasti-dip (its meant for coating tools to give them grip)

i spent a week with it on but we had a really hot day and it bubbled / ripped after taking it in and out of my pocket. gonna give it another go today with multiple coats. will post pics after and tell you guys how it goes. ( only did 1 heavy coat before)


theres another thread on XDA about rubberizing the covers somewhere (my friend did his nexus S, g2x, and mytouch 4g)

here are the pics with and without the mesh.

this coat/attempt seems alot more stable, scratched at it with my fingernail and got nothing off (aggressively). take that as you will.
