I'd experiment with color combinations in photoshop first if I were to do something like this. I can see the prying has damaged the edges of the covers, isn't there a better way of opening it?

Yes, there is a better way. I just didn't know that better way until recently. I'm getting a new cover anyways , so I wasn't worried about this one too much anymore.

the sides, its got nothing to do with ur paintjob, looks as if the phone's received a lot of batterting and dropping, u cud also try using sandpapers on the side to smoothen the rough edges and then respray it again. nice color taste! i like it.

Im terribly sorry but thats just plain wrong! actually rather nasty. Its akin to having an Aston Martin and having a go of adding your own go faster stripes with a tin of Dulux and a 6" brush...sorry to sound harsh but the K750i is perfect the way it is, leave it as it should be!!!
Rant Over!

Yeah I agree. Still looks a little rough around the edges. I too suggest trying sand paper or glass paper (same thing I think). Be careful though, its only delicate.
I prefer the white and black.

@ Nebbs:
Thanks for the honest opinion. I do think that the casing color on the k750i is quite perfect, but I have never been the conventional guy that just went where everybody went...that's why I'm experimenting with different things. And since the blue color was a litlle out of the phone's image I decided to take it off. Don't get me wrong I love the look of the k750, but I get bored with looks so even in the best case I"ll be replacing the cover with silver or make a w800 of it. By the way I wouldn't paint an Aston Martin with a brush unless it was yours and I'd want to make a practical joke on you:-)
At JT:
If you had read the all the post, you could have seen that I even said that I didn't complete the process due to lack of time (so I can use the phone again) and due to the fact that I was only experimenting this time. By the way sandpaper and glosspaper...hmm I guess what you're thinking of as gloss paper is actually a fine 1500-2000 grit wetsand paper that they use to even out the small imperfection the spray paint causes, then fine rubbing compount that would just make it glossy. And a couple of layers of clear coat, that I didn't do either. Once I come up with some color that I found esthetic enough to work on to a perfect finish I'll post it. Thanks for advice though~

heres mines.
i did this one year ago. used car paint. the silver has pearl in the paint. u gotta sand the plastic first so the old paint comes off. then light prime if u want. but i didnt use prime.. cant be botherd.
btw. the pic seems over exposed parts(in some pic) and some purple fringering..prob due to the reflective pearl and the clear coat.
the very last pic is what the back of the phone looks like right now.
and also. the sparkle on the pearl is not that bright in the daylight.. its coz of the xenon flash that made it look so sparkly.. looks much better in daylight

Here's a K750 I did a year or so ago:
Metallic red. I actually removed the metal keypad surround to do this. This avoids the paint filling in the cracks between the plastic and metal (which looks cheap and nasty)

@Max nice color mixture. looks like Ferrariiish
@anyway who had modded their covers:
does anyone had painted their K750 with glossy/piano black? i am planning on painting my W800(the real casing of my phone) housing to glossy black + silver just like the Sony PSP.
