1. after you are done let it sit for about 3 hours (still ok to use, put in pocket, etc) and than take a pair of jeans and buff out the cover........
2. the color will darken overnight or throughout the day for the first 6 hours or so....

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Nice and will this work with the diamond?

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

thats the best part yes it will work with the diamond it will just take longer and the inside doesnt die but that doesnt matter :> so diamond owners you can have your black battery cover and get rid of the red that many hate :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

oh yeah over 175 colors :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Hey D/\sh, that's slick...but how did you apply the dye? Did you brush it on or dip it? I didn't think you could brush on dye... And if you did dip it, how did you keep the the camera lens clean? I don't want to ruin the only cover I have!

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Wow I would of never tought of that, I'm going to color my diamond tomorrow.

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

dont owrry about the lens, the plexi it is made from doesnt atttract the dye:> and be sure to only use RIT DYE.
and you let it soak in there submerged underwater face up for about 20-30 minutes...... if you use the whole bag included less time.

it will work great i did mine red and black :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

about 10 nano seconds after I saw D/\SH's vid I was at the store buying me some Black Rit dye. Simmered some water (bout 2 cups), poured the whole package of dye in, stirred as instructed for 30 min (but I kept firing up the burner under my pot) to keep nice and hot, no NOT that hot (don't melt the sucker!). 30 minutes later I had a VERY nice BLACK TP batter cover. Just put pot with dye and cover in sink, run warm water till water in pot turns more or less clear, then slam on the cold water to 'set' the dye!!!! NO SALT, NO detergent, just simmered water, dye, stir for 30 min. flush as above, dry and joy results.
Way cool!

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

same steps i took with no additives and works great :> i already have done around 15 covers :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

say dashy boy, where can u find more covers? i wanna buy sum more so i can make more colored covers.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

you can redye the current ones you have... all you have to do is use 1000 grit sandpaper and scuff it lightly than redye.....also you cna go into sprint stores without one and tell them that your phone is on the recall list esn wise and you dropped it and when you did the battery cover broke....... they will go in the back and get you one :> i went to multiple stores and now have 5 of them :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

yeah thats what i did, just didnt know if u can order those yet.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Just bought purple and black i will dye my diamond sometime this week and let you guys know how it goes

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

hahahahaha nice cant wait to see what you mix up with them.... im gonna guess a really dark royal style purple.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

I know i cant wait ill be posting pics or a vid but i think im just goin to do it know lol

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

I colored mine last night... Look soooo sweet!!!! D/\sh, you're the man!!!

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

glad it turned out for you.... what color did you go with?

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

black... i'm trying to find some extra covers because the camera lens is a little scratched. I've been calling the local repair centers and none of them have them to sell. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

ive already stated in this thread what you can do to get them.... jsut go intot the stores without one n your phone and tell them your waiting for spritn to get the new ones in stock since your esn was on the recall list and your battery cover broke when dropped.... they will get you hooked up if they have any in the back..... they just wont sell them since they are for repair....

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

I am now the proud owner of a TP with a Dark Navy Blue battery cover. Freakin sweet!

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

got some pics of the way yours turned out? if so post them up in this thread :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Will do, just gotta let the bad boy dry up a little more. Will post as soon as its ready.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

no dryign needed bro.... once you take it out of the pot from cooking all you have to do is run it under cold water and than take a rag of an old pair of jeans and buff the living hell out of it for about 2-5 minutes and you will be fine and ready to go :> (the buffing takes the small imperfections out of the dye job as well as take the surface dye off of the cover so there is no bleeding. )

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Sweet, doin it now

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

cool beans cant wait to see what they look like bro :Drogar-Blank(LBG):

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

HAHAHA, it looks way more black in the pics then in person. Its like a dark, deep blue in person.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Yea man, but where is everyone? I think me and you are like the only ones with pics posted. Cmon people, post up some pics of your creations.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Heres mine from my diamond and has anyone else did it on the diamond because most of the covers i do turn into dark colors like this one its supposed to be purple maybe its because the diamonds back cover is dark because when i seen a purple back on a pro it looked much better and sorry for the bad qualityhttps://www.wckediden.com/attachment...1&d=1229619850

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

looking good buddy :> if you want a lighter purple like i had on the custom one i did for jeffie2wallgreens just use royal blue the whole packet in a small solo sized cup and than stip fr 5 with water that was in the microwave for 300 minutes on high.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Ill give that a try

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Very nice Dash, this is what I have been looking for. I love the videos of all the mods. Thank You.

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Hi when you dye the cover do you have to tape up or cover the glass camera peice on the cover?

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

in the future please read through the thread and watch the video your answer is in both. no you dont have to it wont stick to the lens just the battery cover itself :>

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

Thx dash for the write up i am a new tp userand this help out alot on the look facter....
Thx agen...

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

hahahah no troubles and take a look at the others i have in this area..... have done many different colors and some custom ones.

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

when i dye the cover do i face the lens up or is it ok to dye inside of cover

Re: D/\SHS Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

you drop it so it is completely in the dye and water.... and as said already in this thread and many others it will not stick to the clear plastic lens.

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

when i did it i was scared and turned on the heat till hot then turned off stove... then turned on when cooled then turned off when hot... again and again... took 10 min... but i used navy blue and put it in for long because the fact that black was gone.. and i'm guessing because it was of Wckediden lol.... but my back is black right now... and blue in some angles..

hopefully this makes sense... good luck junkies... remember not too hot.. lol...

and another thing... sprint is being a punk for not letting me have extra battery covers... damit... ;(... wanted to try designs next.. lol...

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

are you going to repair centers? and what asre you telling them? try to walk in there without a cover and ask if they have an extra or just tell them straight up what you are doing and if they have a touch pro or a diamond that you will do one for them too... build a little relationship since all people are more willing to help if they get or got something out of it.

Re: D/\SH'S Touch Pro Homescreen With Gun Metal/Flat Black Battery Cover
 

that is cool sweet nice job
