Sadly that is often the case. I saw a guy who painted his S13 Nissan 200SX in glow in the dark paint which was cool at night but in the day it was just a dirty off white colour 😛uke:

lol, yip i know🙄

yeh the black one turnd out gd, wot u think of the blackd out symbols on the front keys? i think it looks good but thats just my opinion wot dus every1 else think?

the glow one was silver but the glow paint is kind of milky so it now looks grey! next plan is to spray on with a kawasaki green base first so it's green in the day and then glows green @ night! i have another plan to use a candy dye in the laquer aswell so that u can have diffrent coloures, would still glow green though! i teste the cover and it's now tested to 10 hours! still glowing after 10 hours!!not as bright, but in a dark room u can instantly see it) do u reckon this is a good product? would any1 have one once it's a finnishd product?

feedback guys plz....:tongue:

I dunno how good it would be. I was originally going to say that it would be really cool if you're in a nightclub, as you could see your phone glowing practically all night! The problem with that however, is that others can see it too... including potential thieves. :frown:

I've sent you a PM regarding a custom order I'd like 😊

I think a glowing phone doesnt mean much stealingwise. If your careless enough to get it nicked, then its going to anyway.

About the glow in the dark, I suspect you will have some people wanting it to NOT glow for that long. Personally, Id prefer the 30 mins one.

I'll have a word with various family members, see if they are willing to pay for a glow in the dark phone. If you give a list of colours (as they would be in the daytime) and prices, I'll pass it on.

I like the metallic black. A lot. Not sure about the buttons, Id have to see that 'in person', and see what its like to use it.

Im impressed with the stuff you can do, obviously you know your stuff.

yeah, the metallic looks cool.. might look a bit better if the water mark wasnt covering so much.?!?!

Either way, as bart says, look like you do a tidy job. Good effort fella.

thanx fot the feedback muchly apriciated! i'll get onto doing a few diffrent glow in the adark colours and get back to u! the green lasts for ages and the glow blue lasts for about 30 minz so thers a choice ther aswell

the black buttons pictured are just as easy 2 use! the feel exactly the same and i never have to look at the keys to know wot it dus!
thanx again

thanx! the watermark is quite prodminint i might have to make it less visable, thanx for the advice and feedback!!😊:icon14:

Argh, so many to choose from!!! I love flip paint but also love the metallic black and the glow in the dark is funky too ='(... Hmm...

Is there any chance you could take a few pictures of the metallic black full fascia with standard front keypads (the phone open to so i can see the standard silver number keypad underneath). Im not sure if im keen on the keypad being totally covered and the symbols on the keys not visiable. Also is it possible to put the Nokia branding (NOKIA N95 in the front top left of the phone and NOKIA Nseries on the battery cover)?

Thanks!

lol dont worry im the same i keep changing mine aswell, cant decide wots my fav!

well that metalic black cover was a custom order, i did do a spare front cover but thats all iv got now! i can do the front cover with the original "nokia N95" and the back with "NOKIA" i havent got any of the back covers with the "NOKIA N Series" in yeh but i'll ask about them! i can also do the keys with logos intact! all these would be solid black and not metalic black! would still be as shinny though😊!

i was @ my friends 2night and he just got a 10m pixle digital camera and the quality of the foto's are amazing compared to my 7m camera😡... so i think i'll be investing in a 10m camera! any 1 wana buy a 7m pixle camers?🙄

i just got some heat reactive samples in the post 2night, so i'll stick some foto's and maybe a video up l8r! they are just painted speed shapes so it's not on a fon cover but you will see the idea! it's kool as fek! i love it but it's sooo expensive! and ther is a minimum order from the suplyer and it's not cheap so i'll have to make sure it's worth it first!🙄

I have a 10MP camera too, bought a year ago. It may not be one of the highest-brand models (Hewlett-Packard) but it was an absolute bargin and takes some excellent photos. I think though, judging from your photos, that you need to use the Macro option on your camera instead of buying a new one. It will allow you to take a photo very close up (usually within 10-30cm away, more expensive cameras work at closer ranges).

This is what a macro photo looks like on my camera. Maybe using the same feature you can achieve the same with your 7MP.

i like your foto with our colour samples in the background!😊 good pic:icon14:

stiofansisland wrote:yeh thats with the macro option on!!

Ah, right. Something wrong there :redface: How about staying a comfortable distance from your objects and either using optical zoom so it fills the screen or cropping the image when you put it on your computer?

No worries 😊 I had them out so I could pick out the ones I preferred for my phone.
