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

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!

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

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 :>

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.

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....

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. )
