well I came up with this after I had left overs from a car I painted last week, let me know what you guys think, also I was thinking that I can do phone paint jobs if some of you guys like them, this is automotive pain, not cheap walmart/home depot paint.
I use:
Bulldog adhesion promoter.
PPG Omni paint.
ALSA corp paint (you guys can check out their website they have amazing stuff)
Transtar Clearcoat (Glamour series)
I did not open the phone, it was taped and dry sanded so no water was used and is dust free, buttons feels free not stuck, no over spray in there.
Im uploading a video to youtube as soon is ready Ill post the link.
(if I have bad grammar please do not start throwing rocks I'm learning English, is way better if someone tells me how to spell or write good than laugh about it, thank you!):laugh:

Man that looks slick. Love the swirl look on the back. I would love to have my phone done like that in royal blue but I have the textured battery cover.
By the way, your english is very good. I would have no idea you were still learning the language if you didn't mention it in the original post.
my phone has the same texture but if you leave it you can see it through the paint, and it make it looks kinda cool because the clear coat is all smooth, I can paint just the back cover if you want or the bezel too, about the color you can show me a picture of it or if its a car color you can look for the paint code searching in google so I can match it by computer I have the PPG toners here
Yeah that things badass good job man if love to do mine too but my bezel is all beat up I have the white one and sanded down the bezel and put a black backing on it so it doesn't look as bad haha

Website : diabloskinz.com. There's over 40 skins for the gs2...some of then are fantastic. Web site is viewable on the phone.

well, i have a rubber surround for mine...but i installed a screen protector and then applied the skin to it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Them flames dont look too bad.
Are these skins really thin then, like the screen protectors?
Are they stuck on with glue, will the glue/sticky stuff remain on the phone once skin is removed?
Good concept though (skin with matching/flowing wallpaper)
Ive had a look on the site and now i know nobody else has one of these, its cos 90% the designs are all too cartoony or for younger people, except for the flames one pretty much.
I wouldnt like to pull out a phone covered in cartoons infront of colleagues.
Something simple like the D&G stripes down the back and front (on the left side)would look good imo but obv that would cost alot more.
the skinz are very thin and are sticky on the back...not glue tho...piss easy to install...you get a part for the centre button and for the surrounding camera tho i lost that bit lol...i agree that the others are abit cartoony but, well, you said it yaself, the flames skinz is the most suitable...it does make the phone stand oit tho..i've had numerous people ask me about the skin...

It would be nice if that were an extra back cover. The problem i think for some people is not wanting to mess up or add thickness to the cover they already own.
Check Ebay they make a white device now, so there has to be OEM white back covers floating around too

There..but damn its expensive.

That looks like its just a spray paint of the original back. I did that with the vibrant but it was a non textured back so the spraypaint would stick pretty well. Even with the clear coat it still wore off pretty fast. I am guessing this is a back yard job so while it looks good now the paint will crack etc. Its hard to get the paint thickness to coverage ratio just right. around the camera area the paint started to crack on my vibrant one.
also says new and in the package haha.

Looks legit to me, or he must have done a good job to get the paint to be so smooth given that the original back is textured...

The white t989 does not have a textured back but a smooth hi-gloss finish. I have the white one so I can confirm that this is true.

I never said the white cover isn't smooth, I said that the Titanium back cover is textured. Which would make it difficult to spray paint it to look smooth.

what paint did he use ? and did he sand it before painting it or used adhesion promoter?
How does it feel in the hand? and how many clear coats? Trying to imagine it like the paint on your car.

Check out the new creation. I know a lot of people have storm trooper epics (white+black)
but this is a combination of a black screen, the silver band from a white housing, and a black back. Looks sick!!! (the back piece is the white housing. so if you take the battery door off, its actually white.

I've got a busted E4GT that I'm going to do this to and give to my fiancee.
Looks good, its refreshing to see something different in this section too.
Hey, my E4GT has a couple dings on the body right next to the glass. Judging from the OP's pictures, it looks feasible to replace that part with new? My question, to anyone who may know is: Would it be worth fixing the phone before I sell it? I'm guessing, as it stands now, the phone's in "fair" condition (as Swappa.com would classify) and probably get easy $200. Now if I replaced the body the phone would be worth an EASY $250...Is this a worthwhile thing to do?
Thanks
Long story short, I've got some minor damage to my S3 in which the paint has scrapped off. I see underneath it has a pretty sleek looking black body. I was thinking of getting some high grain sandpaper and just sanding the entire body down to the black. Possibly even getting a clear finish plastic paint and painting so it's smooth.
Do you guys think it's plausable? Anyone done this successfully?
Been thinking about doing it for a few weeks. Finally getting around to asking on here. Maybe I'll make it a weekend project..
I don't see why you couldn't as long as you didn't go crazy sanding it. I'd try on the battery cover first cause if it looks bad battery covers are only a few bucks on amazon.

I think op is talking about the bezel.
I personally wouldn't do it since the phone is basically plastic and glass. But hey, its your phone, do whatever you want to it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Why bother with all that?
Just buy a glossy black TPU cover for it. Pick one that's glossy black
The case will hide the damage perfectly and protect the phone from further bezel damage.
I like TPU over silicone because of its high gloss, low bulk and I can remove it easily from my pockets.

Yes, I'm talking about the entire phone (body and cover). It's not a lot of surface area to cover. I'm not talking about removing the glass and sanding down the front face.

I don't care about the damage, honestly, its' not bad. It's more for the look. As for TPU case....I HATE cases. I think they look ugly, regardless of how sleek they are. I like my phone to look the way it was designed.
So I was thinking about using 220-240 for initial sanding and then like 600 for smoothing.
My only concern is trying to find an effective way to cover the tiny space between the screen and the bezel. I don't want it to fill up with particles.
I didn't say you were going to remove the front glass. I said the phone is mainly made up of plastic and glass.
