just take your time with it..if you know how to take it apart ..also thin coats

Posted by: imprezzivesti

seriously its mad easy to do..

i agree. very nice job..now what color is that? looks like a deep metallic blue?
loving the color.
and what kind of clear did you use if any?

Posted by: negronese

for all you people who painted it.. what happens if your sidekick crashes or something breaks on it.. wont you have to buy another sidekick.. since painting it voids the warranty.. ?

only reason why i havent painted mine is because its been a year now and ive gone through 5 sidekicks already...

Posted by: imprezzivesti

just have to buy a new one.. no biggy... or trasfer it into a regualr case that we can find and send it in lol...

i'm not too worried cause by the time this thing stops workin sk3 will be here

Did you put your screen name on a piece of paper for authenticity?

Posted by: bigd2323

what is the significance ofputting down the clear coat?

Posted by: bigd2323

the clear coat is just the coat that will protect the paint from coming off i guess that about it

Impressivesti: Good job as well. Might want to start your own thread on your own kick.
