Over time, the phone case takes on a worn-out look, scratches and scuffs appear on it, and in some places the color may come off altogether. You can solve the problem by buying a new phone or panel, or you can save your money and paint the case yourself. This is a fairly simple procedure that will give your device a "second life".
Necessary
- - dye;
- - varnish;
- - primer for plastic.
Instructions
Step 1
Find a room to paint the phone case. The room must be well ventilated and sufficiently clean, as dust particles can damage the work result. Prepare the surface for painting. Cover it with even material. You can use a white thick oilcloth.
Step 2
Read the instructions for the phone, dedicated to its technical part. Prepare the necessary set of screwdrivers in advance. Disassemble the phone for details. If you do not want to disassemble the phone or do not have the right tools, then you can use masking tape, which you can glue wherever paint should not get, namely the keyboard, screen, connectors, etc.
Step 3
Prepare the surface of the case for painting. Mix fine putty and hardener and putty on deep scratches on your phone. Sand the surface with fine sandpaper or a special bar. After the putty is dry, rinse the body parts from dirt and dry. Apply a special plastic primer to the surface of your phone. Leave the device to dry for a day.
Step 4
Make sure your phone is dry and sandpaper it. As a result, a completely smooth surface should be obtained. Take a hair dryer and blow off the dust from the case. Clean it from oily puffiness and fingerprints.
Step 5
Spray paint over the surface of the body, holding the can at a distance of 30 cm from the surface. This will ensure an even layer and no sagging. Let the paint dry for 20 minutes and apply a second coat. After that, after 20 minutes, cover the body with two layers of varnish, letting it dry for 15 minutes. Apply a pattern or drawing to your phone using brushes and watercolors, then cover the case again with two coats of varnish at intervals of 5 minutes. Let the surface dry and reassemble the phone parts.
