After getting all the panels glossy I've still decided that that blue has to go...just didn't seem to fit the "image" of the phone. I still like the pearl white though...so that one stays maybe for a little more. By the way I was gutsy about this experiment cause my new cover is on the way...my screen never had a screen protector so it got kinda scratched up. I might get a cover made out of aluminum though...my buddy has a CNC shop, and maybe get that one anodized. Thanks for all the "ouch"-es and the few "ehh ok":-)

I'll tell you all it took a lot longer to remove the blue paint than it did to spray it on...Anyways I don't think the only think was the lack of glossyness on the blue one. It just didn't seem to fit this phone even after being glossy. The pearl white I kept on the front and I do like it. it doesn't have a glossy finish , just kind of like a satin just like the original. Here is a couple of pics. I think it goes pretty well with the silver.

what kind of paint are you using?
i liked the blue... but then again, it looked kind of childish.

right, take the phone apart as shown.
mask,or use masking fluid or something (or our very kind friend in this thread could tell us what he used
) to cover up bits you dont want painted, then paint away.
again, our mate from this thread can tell us which paints to use
gloss it up, let it dry put it back together again!
oh, and to be on the safe side, using a Vodafone K750
lol!
ALSO
here is a thread where you can post up your modified phones and contact people that have modded theirs!

I can give you a step by step guide altough I didn't complete the whole process. For taking apart the phone you can find a step by step guide at www. se-nse.com don't do it if you don't feel comfortable about it and know that it will ruin your warranty. Other then that if you're serious about doin it, I'll give you some pointers. Don't take these pictures as examples, these were rather experimenting than serious painting. For example I haven't use primer, which would've made it easier to get a perfect cover, I only waited about 1 hour after painting to put it together having this only phone, can't have it turned of for the whole day. By the way the paint I've used were Tamiya model paints.
