Very nice.. I was planning to do a metallic whitish colour.
Also, I think the button needs to be painted too.. do you have plans for those.. and how are you planning to do it?
Thanks
no, i like the bottons has they are
Let the buttons as they are, the contrast is very nice. I wonder how long will the paint least until scratches will appear :lol:
i think that they will not appear has they didn't appear on my laptop paintjob

And what is the name of the paint spray and varnish you've used?
great job adolfotregosa! how did you remove the lcd from the front casing. i have already dismantled my unit following the pdf posted by someone, which was more intented to fix the speaker problem.
GreenGremlin. any model toy paint spray usually works. it is important to sand off the surface with a very fine sand paper like what adolfotregosa used to remove any clear coat lacquer, and then sand it off again with wet, fine sand paper.
Love the color and I live the job done. Hmmm... Can anyone PM me the link on removing the case, I will try this out and I plan to make a design, ofcourse a yellow looking Imate won't look that good...
The PDF is quite big in size to send via email. i couldn't upload it to the ftp also thus here's the link.

btw, the pdf was originally made by someone to try to fix the speaker problem. i didn't dare to remove the LCD since i didn't want to break anything, most especially the LCD.
if someone would be kind enough to post instructions on how to remove the LCD would greatly be appreciated by the group.
I saw some pretty cool jams on some site a while back that had been skinned,looks a pretty good alternative and you can change them all the time,don't know where to buy them from though!

Think you're talking about a site called skinit.com They sell vinyl skins that peel off when you want to change the look. The skins cost around $10 USD, but I don't recall seeing anything on their site for a Jam.
Can anyone, please, confirm that white Trinitys are not peeling... I would like to buy the original white housing and it's not that cheap just to find out that it peels as well.
Thank you!
I have a white Trinity for about one year and no peeling.
Thanks again! That's what I needed to hear.
Also one year no peeling with WHITE.
I have black for 3 months....and no peeling
The FD do you keep it in a case all the time, or one of the silicon type cases ( goes around the phone to protect corners and edges ) ?
No I carry it around in my trouser pocket all the time. Everywhere I go it goes. I do look after it, I never have anything else in the pocket. No keys or coins. But never in a case.
It shows no sign of the paint peeling. 3 of us at work got the same phone all black and none of them show any sign of peeling.
White trinity here, for about five months and no peeling at all, no scratch either (the white material don't scratch).
No peels, no scratches, on white ones? How come they insist on selling only black ones (HTC branded) in Europe? I really take care of mine but that is of no influence - it peels terribly. Now it looks like it got some skin disease or something. I've never seen such a problem on any other non-Trinity device ever.

Maybe because European sales executives think it fits more the local taste. Especially for male users or professionals.
But it's a matter of fact: the white one is like the plastic itself is just a kind of varnished white material, while the black one is like a thin lay of black paint pasted on top of another material. Therefore there is no way to scratch or peel the whites, while the blacks are so fragiles.
Those sales executives suck. They've never heard that, for example, Nokia makes a fortune on exchangeable covers...

Had a black one: peeling after 3 month. Had a second black one: peeling after 3 month.
Have a white one now for more than 3 month (which I bought from a guy in switzerland, not really europe in terms of political matters but geographically it's definitly europe... )
no peeling at all, no fingerprints, no (visible) scratches.
Get a white one if you can.
if somebody is interested in buying a used white one please pm.
White is perfect
Just switched to white. Perfect housing !
Go for it !

Sure is, you can buy spare parts from here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
BTW, the white case I have (From Orange UK) is actually a white plastic inner case covered with a clear plastic case, so it's not painted and therefore won't ever 'peel'

Nope.....try buying a cover for it in the accessories section to prevent it happening again.
In the wiki under Blackstone Hints & Tips - Things you may not have known. (By tboy2000)
One tip to Cover Up Blemishes on Casing:
You can use a black permanent fine tip marker pen to cover up scrapes on paintwork of housing. Rub firmly back and forth with your fingertip after a few seconds wait after applying pen.
It's possible, here you go http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/18535.htm.
I bet you could find a cheaper one on ebay .

OR youcould just take that part off and repaint it.
I believe its hekd down with some double sided tape. Glued down for sure from what I have seen.
Sup guys.
As the title says, my recently bought uni housing have a crack. It's located right under bottom right corner of uni's display. As far as I know it's pretty frequent damage of uni housing, and it's not doing any harm to my pda but I just don't like it. Would prefer to have it sealed ;]
There goes the question - is there anyone who tried gluing it?
Which glue would you recommend for this?
I'm thinking about model glue (does it have some other, certain name in english? I dunno about it, as english isn't my native, and I'm not into models too ;] Anyway it's the one you use to glue plastic models). It have needle, so it's precise - I don't want to left any marks of gluing on my uni.
What do you guys think? Is it even possible to glue it neatly? Is the model glue okay? Or should I pick another one? If so - which one?
Thanks in advance.
I think some might say you can get a new housing off ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/FULL-GREY-HOUSI...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cedb9772e
US $42.49 ---> GPB £27.8364
just typed 'XDA Exec' in to ebay US and found: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=XD...&_odkw=HTC+Universal+housing&_osacat=0&bkBtn=
Also found: http://cgi.ebay.com/O2-Xda-Exec-Qte...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f1fac0d9
Yeah, but I don't need new one. One I have actually is in good condition, and not really worn out - only this crack bothers me.
Also it's not doing any harm to pda, so paying 40$ for new housing is out of question. If there is no way to glue it (I think it will work, though), then I will just live with it ;]
am starting to get that =]
i think you should try and purchase a 6 start screw driver.
and dismantal the screen then try to glue to.
if not just spend $37 on a scrren outer housing for the screen and base
