My Old Cell Phone

[James W]

About 10 minutes work over two evenings resulted in this slightly used look on my spare phone cover.

Sophisticated Finishes iron was painted on one night.

I let the cover soak in rust solution for 24 hours in a baggy to get the full rust effect.

I still need to protect the finish with a dead flat clear to keep the rust from rubbing off.

This is a much better result than I had painting my other cover in primer.

I may go back and add flames or pinstripes to that one.

I'm in the middle of painting my phone and my ipod, red on the phone just isn't gonna cut it, and i'm just tired of having a black ipod

I am very happy with my basic black Ipod and Iphone. I had the original 60GB Ipod Video Classic that had that shiny gloss-black acrylic finish. But that showed up a lot of finger prints and scratches very easily. My new Ipod, the 160 GB Video Classic has that new flat-black finish and month's later it still look's brand spanking new. Upon delivery I immediately covered the screen with those handy clear protectors and at same time as purchase, I had ordered a black silicone case from Ifrogz.com. I ordered a matching set for both Ipod and Iphone and both are still like new condition.

I wouldn't bother painting either one at all.

eh, my ipod is all scratched up from skating, and bmx, and just basic use. I've had it since the video came out(the one i have) and i've never gone a day without it in my pocket and my phone when i got it the paint had orange peel on the back so i imediatley snaded that down to the plastic and repainted it, now im trying ot redoe the whole pnohe. I guess i just like having custom stuff

James, my freind,AND forum brother, Methinks you got TOOO much time on your hands! I mean, it IS your phone, an you CAN do as you dam well please with it, but WHY? Wouldn't it made a lot more sense to apply that technic to a model?

Don't get me wrong, it came out like it's all rusted up, but again,WHY? If you wanna start a "Rusted Phone" trend your sure right on the money! Personally I think FLAMES woulda looked KILLER! Then you coulda had a REAL LIVE Hot Line!!!
