Thanks! I am using Rust-Oleum primer, paint, and clear. Just remember to always use the same brand primer, paint, and clear, I tried to use a different brand of clear and it ruined the finish.

Its going to get finished, I just got set back a little. The paint is currently drying and I should be able to get the clear on it in a few hours. Here is what happened to it, if you look at the bottom you can see the finish looks terrible.
Yeah, I see that.
Can't wait to see what it will look like after it's finished.
Doesn't it just take like 10 minutes to replace that part? Because if it's not very difficult and time consuming, I'd probably buy a painted one from you.
I like the look.

Its like 6 screws and then it just pops off in one piece. I will paint one for you, but I am going to have to figure out if the clear I bought is tough enough. if its not, I'm going to have to figure out something else. I will have finished pictures up tonight or tomorrow. I love how it looks so far, wayyy better than the stock look IMO.

I did this the day the white one came out.. I get so many compliments.. Definitely a great match.. The front bottons at night get that nice halo effect when they light up. I call it pandanizing it.. haha. Btw if you put the zagg shield on the back door it makes it feel much better than the slipper/glossy feel that it has without it.

Hey guys I finished painting my Gnex and thought i'd post pictures!
I used automotive grade Duplicolor adhesion promoter and colors.
I will probably be offering custom paint jobs as a service. Still have to work out the details.
Back and housing are a metal with flakes blue and buttons are a glossy black.
All the buttons work perfectly, no sticky feeling. Paint also bends and doesn't crack - see last pic.

I have the Gnex from Sprint. I couldn't find any info on disassembling the Sprint version (all are manufactured differently) However, it was pretty much the same as the Verizon version. It took a little bit of effort to pry the screen away from the housing, but it was fairly simple, only 6 small Phillips screws. The hardest part was removing the quick charge gold pins. They were too small to mask so I had to remove them. There was a small plastic piece holding them all in place. Very gently, I was able to pry it off. I'd imagine if you break the little pins holding it on, it would be a simple super glue fix. Other than that, easiest phone to take apart so far.

Just out of curiosity how come you didn't paint the inside of the housing?

Usually you want to avoid painting things that move. In this case the tabs from the back would scratch the inside. The paint creates a ridge which may not allow things to reconnect properly. Same goes for the battery slot, if you paint in there, the tabs that slide to fit the battery right might be too tight and it wont fit.
Plus no one looks under there

I also have a red with metal flakes like the blue, I think my Galaxy Tab 10.1 would look awesome with it
So I decided to risk it and do this. I used 1500 dry/wet sandpaper. This is fool proof with his high grit the paper is. With that said it takes like 3 hours and blistered fingers to complete but I'm glad I did it. Phone looks new again.
Tape off the front and trim with razor using between the bezel and glass as a guideline, and remove battery cover, you don't have to take off the back, just remove the cover:

Thus is for people who have scratches, like mine since I bought it used at a nice price. Instead of rising breaking a 200 dollar LCD just to replace the bezel, you could save it down and get a nice matte black color and even paint it after.

Mine has it too. I think it's excess glue from inserting the hard plastic letters. they squirt glue in the depressions and the push in the letters. the extra glue is forced out and wiped off. Too much glue is better than not enough.

They don't ship to Canada though.
I don't really like that they're not using real case pictures, but renders that are pretty crappy.

Yeah they appear to be a case seller. Don't know anything about them though. Showing pictures of the real cases would at least make things a bit better.
iTALKonline are also a case seller on Amazon, and I've had nothing but garbage product the two times I got stuff from them. I ordered a few cases from them for my parents older Xperia Ts. The cases didn't fit at all, the buttons were covered by the front lip, so you couldn't even use the phones... Never buy from them!
Anyway, even if they are a case seller, who knows if they're any good. I like those retro Nintendo designs though.
those cutouts are throwing me off. can't tell what kind of protection it'll provide.

These types of cases are not for protection from anything. The most it'll protect is from scratches. It's just to kee your nexus 5 from getting scuffed up and look neat at the same time.
These are pretty sweet, but I'm really put off by the fact that there are so few reviews of their other cases. Maybe once my SAND starts showing some age I'll try one of these. The price at least is pretty reasonable

I'm not a fan of TPU cases, but I'd give it a shot for this one:
If you're gonna go retro, you gotta go Generation 1!

They don't ship to Canada though.
I don't really like that they're not using real case pictures, but renders that are pretty crappy.

That case looks great too but I keep looking at this one also with all that old school goodness.

Looks like all the trekcovers nexus 5 cases are sold old or taken down now. Interesting,

Guys don't even waste your money. This case is crap. Its pretty much a plain white case with the gameboy printed on it. I thought it would be one of them nice rubber cases for the iPhone but trust me its not. I'm in the process of getting a refund...yeah its that bad.
