Painting my battery door - HTC Rezound

Hey guys-
I am in progress of painting my extended battery setup (door+case) white. If I end up liking it, I will be painting the hard plastic part of my otterbox commuter white. I have chosen to use White Plasti Dip paint. This creates a plasticy spray that flexes, bends, and is durable. It won't crack and I can peel it off if I decide I don't like it white anymore. It is also pretty grippy. The can came to $9.11 w/ tax. They also offer this paint in red and black as well as a clear gloss. I will post pics of my other stuff as it dries/I paint it. But it took 5 coats to get the door looking nice so it takes awhile.

That looks really nice man. I normally don't care for white phones, but hell, I wouldn't mind a white Rezound.

That looks pretty good! I had no idea how big that extended battery must be; Wow!

wow that sweet

Looks sweet, let me know how that paint holds up. Been wanting to do a similar paintjob on mine with a Trident case, but having to burn cash on replacing the broken glass digitizer and damaged LCD panel too at the moment. >.<

I did this but it covered the homes for the speakers

You can remove it if you don't like it? Hmmm

Hey con could I send u my battery cover and get u to paint mine for me? I'd do it myself but I don't have time for stuff like this and I'm not good with paint at all

---

That's awesome. Did you tape the camera to keep it red?

---

Is it in a spray can?? Ive only seen the regular cans. If it's sprayable, it's possible to stencil designs.
Edit-after a reread I see the word "spray".

Yep, just find a place to pick at it with your nail and then pull up

It did take me quite awhile so probably not unfortunately.

That is the stuff. Stencil designs would be hard. Unlike regular spray paint, you MUST peel any tape off before it dries. So you would have to do a coat, pull the tape off, retape, recoat, etc. This is because it would peel up the plastidip when you pulled the tape off.

That's attached to the camera, not the back.

So why is there a red ring on the back of his case?
The case isn't attached to the phone.

He must have painted it. I'm holding an extended door in my hand, it's just a black hole.

I see what you mean. Yeah that red ring must have been painted on it then. It looks badass! I really might end up doing this to mine as well as the otterbox defender front.
Question Con. Did you have to do any sanding to the case(on the smooth areas)? Or did you just do a real good cleaning to it?
