Yeah I just used some black "Apple Barrel" paint. I think you can buy a bottle of it at walmart for like $1 or at any hobby store.

looks nice except i personally wouldnt do it to mine since you can simply swap out that piece if you need to bring it in. Stylus and batt cover are simply replaceable in about 3 seconds but personally i wouldnt do it to mine, it voids your TEP and warranty and they can refuse to fix it.

You: Thx!

i mean TEP repair in-store more or less, not insurance replacement. Obviously that would not matter as they never want the old one back since its supposed to be dead or lost. In-store shouldnt matter either just say its a 3rd party battery door, they likely wont care.

i did this to my diamond last night * back cover and both of the stylus and it came out great. my girlfriend thought i bought new ones she didnt believe i dyed it until i told her to smell it. Then she believed me
It looks 100% better IMO.

I posted this over in the other thread... the smell is gone after only 2 days. Also no signs of fading or bleed off at all. I still predict some fool will ask in the next 5 posts! lol
