You need to get some RIT dye, if you google "RIT dye" you'll find it. Apparently you can get it at some grocery or hobby stores. I got mine at a JoAnn Fabrics store. It comes in powder or liquid; I used the powder.
Put about 8 cups of water in a stainless steel pot and heat it up on the stove. You want to get the temperature to a point where there are small bubbles forming on the bottom of the pot, but you don't want it to boil. Once the water is at a good temperature add about half the bag of powder and stir it until it is dissolved.
Then you can take your battery cover off your phone and put it in the pot and stir it for about 10 minutes or so. You can check the color in the middle of the process and if it is the hue you like then you can stop there.
The first time I dyed mine the color wasn't entirely even, but a little bit of drying and buffing using a paper towel worked quite well to fix it.
NOTE: Make sure you use a stainless steel pot otherwise you could very well dye the pot as well as your cover. Someone else suggested using a plastic bag or something like that to contain the dye and water as to not stain your pot (I think it was for the original touch pro, but I can't find the link atm).
Here is a post for the Sprint version, the dying process is the same.
