My Painted Ferrari Red Ipod! :d

[Underground D]

just got the idea today and went ahead to paint! i painted the Speck case instead of the pod itself for safety, bu end result is sexxxxy.


The Spekc white case looked ugly yellowish on without thsi paintjob jsut so you know.

mmmm....ferrari red!!!

Also, end result took out the rough speck case feelign,a nd added a SMOOTH AND SLICK LEATHERY feeling on it :D

Tutorial:

Materials:

- An iPod case thats rubber-like (iskin, speck, Jamjacket,etc.)
- Testors Enamel Paint (or any other enamel model paint for plastics)
* I prefer Testors since its 'quality' assured :P
- 2 brushes, one big and one small

Steps:

1. Get worka rea ready
2. Get 2 Colors, 1 base and one secondary for outlining
3. Start coating one side of the case, let it dry, and then continue untill finsihed

Dry time is usually 2 hours (thats what i put mine for)

4. Grab the 2nd color and fill in the linings (clickwheel border and screen border) , let it dry too

You're done...now just don't ummmm take it to extreme temperatures....Paint is flammable :P

Wow! What did you take those pics with? It would be nice to post some clearer pictures of the case cause it looks like it might be nice but it's hard to tell.

It is with the lgihts on it. Damn logitech Quickcam has the worst quality.

I think itll work with Silicone too. hmmm

Those pics look awful, but the paint job looks pretty good.

Undergroung - fix the link in your sig. You may need to put a space between the [:] & the link and give it a title "My Painted Ferrari Red iPod" instead of just the link. In fact, put the link in like this:

[url = http: // forums. ipodlounge. com / showthread. php?s = threadid = 77039] My Painted Ferrari Red iPod [/ url]

Just remove the spaces so just the title shows in your sig.

Try and get some better pics up because it look like you may have done a good job but just hard to see.

You actually painted the iPod and that's not a case. Sorry but it is really hard to tell. Try and get some better pics up because I would like to see it.

Thats a good idea. I have a speck case that I don't like. I'll consider painting it...
