Finished Croming Titan's Cover with pics!!

[Finalforce1111]

Hey all,

I have "Chromed" the Cover of my Titan and have made some pics during the procedure.

The whole process took me 2:20 hours and I must admit that I like the result but check it out!!

I used 400, 240, 120, and 40 gr Paper, to make the finish I used the 40, the others you can choose what you like most, 400 gr takes longer to remove the color but is more accurate and soft to the cover, I used after 1 hour to take only 240 and 120 because it took too long...

The first picture left shows all materials I had used, don't forget to stick the plastic pieces and the buttons!!!!

The pictures are in an chronological order from left to right so first starts left and the final result is on the right.

hey that looks real good, found a chip on the cover so might have to perform this at some points, what are the numbers you quote is that the type of paper

 

[Finalforce1111]

It is abrasive paper which is used dry to take things like colours from surfaces away you can find it in any store which sells construction articles

Looks like an iPhone 2G now haha

well done!

That being said, i'm glad mine doesnt look like that

When I've done this, I didn't compared to an iphone , I am very glad that I have an Windows phone which is -at my opinion a lot better then Ios ^^.

I did it because I don't like black, so it's at least partly gone.

You like the finish of the 40 grit? Seems like it might look pretty nice with 1500 grit, then some polish to bring it to a mirror like finish.

I dont lik the mirror-finish, I did it to my HD2 and after some time it wasn't so mirror-like as it was in the begining.

maybe it's a language thing but this is called polishing not chroming

you can't chrome anything without literally dipping it in chrome.

I'd love to see a white case for the titan. Do you think, that this is possible?

 

[myunitisz]

you could polish it to give a shiny feel to it.. check out the sensation forums they did something similar also



just saw you dont like it lol

Or paint stripping?

I am using it some months now and it is still good, but sometimes I have to clean some traces of fingerprints which come from time to time
