You're new and you made a mistake. It happens, and you will learn not to post anything but development-related topics here next time.
Looking real sweet, by the way!
That looks awesome! Where did you find that kit?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
The right section would be galaxy nexus accessories
Might want to move it there and close this thread before someone else does it for you.
But cool kit. Just needs a white cover in the back.
Edit:
I think you can ask kennyglass123 to move it for you.
Where did you buy the kit?

I love how you mix the Titanium Silver power button and volume rocker with the white housing!
As for the battery cover, Droid-Life found some on German eBay. It's the housing and battery cover though. I couldn't post link, but try Googling "How to: Turn Your Original Galaxy Nexus Into a White Galaxy Nexus". Should be from Droid-Life and look up for the link there

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OP thanks for that picture. I now know what my finished product will look like once I'm done.
I'm gonna paint the housing white and keep the black buttons with the black battery cover.

too bad its coming from china, but this may be my next case. they have all sorts of different color gradients
This looks really cool actually.
I would be so paranoid that my phone was wet
I purchased one of those cases a week ago, yet to come but hopefully it will fit with the extended battery
real nice.. anyone as a pic of how it would look like for the black back-ed galaxy nexus?
I got it from here, at much lower price and free shipping.

Awesome im doing this as well, how did you switch the camera tho?
Why'd you make a new thread? Several of us in the White Housing thread already have done this and posted pictures there.
Anyways... I did the same thing since my white housing didn't come with buttons, also used the grey back temporarily till my white back arrived. It looks better with the white back

Couldn't you just drill/dremel a hole up there, or does the battery extend that far?

I personally think that lazy or rushed design like that shouldn't be rewarded with my money and then after sale labor to bring it up to nominal working order.
Here's it cheaper for you http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120942751358&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=41004721533:D
So I got a spare housing from ebay and painted it red along with the original battery door.
Lemme know your veiws guys

Anybody needs help painting there gnex , feel free to ask here.
Take 2
pictures attached.
used - Duplicolor Vinyl/Fabric spray and adhesion promoter.
Steps
wet sand the body and battery cover with 800 grit sandpaper until all paint on the housing is gone (will take some time) and the samsung and google logo on battery back is black (will also take some time).
A layer of adhesion promoter, left to dry for 10 minutes
followed by 5-6 layers of Duplicolor at interwals of 20 mins each.
after final coat leave to dry for 4 hours and we are good.

Maybe it's because of the blurry pictures, but the paint looks a bit dull. Other than that I can tell you took great care in painting it, I mean, it certainly looks like it is very well done.
