I'm not going to get into too much detail with this cause I wasn't at all impressed with the outcome of the paint job or the the the way my screen opens, doesn't open like it used to anymore... oh well
here is what I used, gloves obviously cause you don't want to touch anything with your hands, your fingers omit oils and that's a no no


enamel paint
some tools obviously

first thing you do is you pry up the buttons

this reveals 4 torque screws
after flip open the screen half way, 2 screws





the screen should come off
the screen has 4 screws take them out to take out the plastic piece
so when you take out the 4 torque screws you can take out the body of the phone, revealing it's gutsthere will be a few phillips screws you just have to find them, take out the mic and speaker as you can see some buttons like the call and hang up button have to be taken out as well it's tricky







I prepared the plastic by wet sanding it, you can see I taped part of the camera, obviously the lense was taken out
best way to wet sand is to use windex isntead of water, I was told that water beads, so beading is not good when it drys, leaves bead marksso I prepared my work station
I airbrushed a sequence of black metalic with green paint and that's how it turned out I'm going to repaint it with acrylic, enamel took me half hour to clean my air brush it's thick and sticky so inbetween sessions of colors I had to clean, that was a pain...
the end
