Thinking About Modding my e61: Paint Suggestions?

yes if you look at the back of the phone picture you will see that its not that smoth! it looks like an orange peal! they get this on alot of cars but most of the time you will only see that from factory paint. the picture you posted of the back of your phone looks like a orange peal look at again! the guy who painted it didnt wet sand the orange between coats, you still have to do that to the clear too. wax will not take out the orange peal effects. i dont think the guy put on a clear coat because what wax does is take a little layer off the paint, so it sould of tooken off a little of the clear not the orange.

here are examples:
orange peal:;


and two non orange peal



look at the reflections of the paint. these are not my trucks i just got them from the rc site that iam a member of. these are tamiya hard body trucks that have to be painted on the out side of the shell!
 
Yea i see what your talking about. It must be the picture because the phone looks very smoothe in person. The phone looks different in the sunlight. If you move it around in the light you see different shades of orange. I agree that he may not have put clear on from what you were saying...only time will tell if it lasts. It wasnt bad for free. Unless u look real close it really looks good. I looked at the paint mods on e-series.org and in my opinion it looks the same as far as quality as most of the phone. Illtry and take better pics
 
This is as good as it can look IMO. Blacked out keys are really nice. Too bad it's just cheap plastic and not painted. I think the sales of the E61/62 would be much better if they released this type of blacked out version. Looks much more sleak and sexy.
