Hey guys , got this idea from over at the Nexus S forums . Figured if it would work there , it would work here .
What you'll need:
1 can of white Plasti Dip
- I searched Lowes , Walmart , Autozone , Advanced Auto , Hobby Lobby , and Home Depo . Home Depo only had it in black . The only place i found it in store was Car Quest . I live in the south , im not sure how common they are elsewhere . I read it is also available at Ace Hardware .
1 Samsung Fascinate battery cover
- I suppose it would be best if you had a spare , but as long as you use the Plasti Dip brand , i know it can be peeled off if you make a mistake , so you can start over if need be.
About 2 hours
- You'll want to wait about 30 minutes between coats . I have 4 coats on mine .
Get yourself a well ventilated area , shake the can for a good minute and a half before spraying . This should go without saying , but TAKE THE BATTERY COVER OFF THE PHONE BEFORE APPLYING. Once your battery cover is removed , begin applying the spray about 8"-12" away from the cover . Be sure to get the sides , with this being white , and the cover being black , they needed a little extra attention .
As said before wait at least 30 minutes before doing your next coat . I did 4 coats , and i dont think another would hurt . might add another later .
Your result will be awesome . The guy from the Nexus S forum had some SUPER hi res photos that i dont believe do it just . Or maybe mine just came out better , who knows . It still slides in and out of my pocket just fine . It still fits in my factory car dock , and it adds much needed grip to our phones . .. and it looks sexy . It doesnt feel grainy or like truck bed liner at all . I actually had low expectations , but gave a shot because it could be peeled off .
Sorry for the not so great pics , they were taken with another Fascinate and it was super dark. This really surpassed all my expectations ....i feel like i might go on a Plasti Dip spree now ... look out Macbook ...
If you guys have any questions let me know .
