what paint exactly did you use??

That cover looks awesome (that is by far the best looking cover I have seen yet). I have two spare covers for mine & that is exactly what I was going to try on one of them.....

I did dye the tip of the stylus, it came purple/black, it didn't match the cover. Still working on something for that. The volume rocker never took color, but it never turned bronze.

I can dye your touch pro 2 covers!

Virtually any color even pink! :D

Just gave this a try and it turned out great. I held the end of the stylus in the dye for a good ten minutes as well. It didn't get quite as dark as the battery cover, but it actually turned out pretty well. Thanks for all of the tips and info from everyone!

I did this, I like the look.

Did you paint over the map or is it colored in with a marker?

I used Rit Dye on the cover. I painted the map area, no marker.
