Selling/trading a CUSTOM sony ericsson x10a, locked to rogers. The phone is black, 8.5/10 condition with a small scruff on the side (silver bezel). It works great, has a antiglare screen protector since day 1. Comes with a charger, USB, 2 cases (silicone + black hard snap on) and a 8gb memory card.
Phone now comes with a brand new extra black housing. I have take one of the housings and carefully sprayed the chrome part with a sparkling metallic red (as shown in pictures).
Steps taken to spray paint (took hours):
Taken the housing apart so spray paint didn't get into the chips or ribbons
Wet sanded chrome piece with 600 grit sandpaper (so primer sticks on better)
Sprayed a coat of high quality TAMIYA primer (used for plastic models, primer is to show imperfections before spraypainting and makes the spray paint hold on better and longer)
Waited a long time for it to dry. Sprayed 6 coats of TAMIYA red spray paint , sanding inbetween coats
Spray paint and primer are of the highest quality. $10 for a 100ml bottle, bought from a hobby store, japan imported.
Here are the pictures of the red and black:

EDIT: Here's the phone with a gold accent on. (Still have the red housing as a spare)

Lifetimer: 5 hrs
$360
