I recently aquired a Sprint Diamond, while getting rid of my old Sprint Mogul. I am extremely happy with the upgrade. After searching around the web for a while, I discovered Juicy’s ROMs over at PPCGeek and I am in love.
Well I wasn’t to hip with the Burgundy, although it was bearable and wasn’t nearly as bad as it looked in pictures. So I decided to make it black!
First I went to my local Sprint store and asked for a Diamond back cover, and the friendly man grabbed one from the back hastily. It has been used and has a few scratches, but you can’t even tell without looking for them.
I then got some RIT Liquid Fabric Dye from the store (Target/Walmart) and mixed 1/4 cup Dye+about 4 Cups Hot Water in a pan. I then put in one of my covers and stylus. The cover was done in about 15 minutes, while the stylus took 45. I had the heat on medium, so it wasn’t boiling, but it was hot.
I didn’t do anything with the USB Red Cover, because I don’t know what to do.. but it looks fine red for now :)
Also, on the cover and stylus, the ONLY THING THAT CHANGED APPEARANCE WAS THE BURGUNDY SURFACES. The camera shield is 100% clear, and you can read HTC perfectly on the back.
See the pics!
