Hey, it looks incredible!!! And now you have a rust-proof phone 
I have a couple of questions:
1. how well does this paint stick to the phone casing? Any scratches yet?
2. How did you protect the side buttons when painting it? It looked like you couldn't remove those buttons prior to painting.
Thanks

well this is the answer.
ok i was going to send my phone again to have the housing changed to the red color, but i decided to take the chance and the risk and do it my self:p and it was successful.
tools i used: picture frame hanger. T6 Screw driver and a pair of tweezers.
and then you insert the picture hanger nicely on the bottom part of the antenna cover to the left side (next to the camera lens) and do go deep and push the antenna cover towards the top and with the help of your fingers pressure slide the cover.
take the cover off and put it on the side.
unsnap the antenna cover towards the top.and remove it with the pair of tweezers.
remove the bower button key.
unscrew the 4 screws using T6 crewdriver.
with your finger or with a help of a credit card (thanks C-DUB) unsnap the top cover.
and put it away.
and simply replace it with the other cover (color of your choice).
now screw back the 4 screws.
reinstal the antenna and make sure you put it back in the right place and is not moving around.
remember to put back the power button key in place.
slide back the antenna cover like you do when sliding the battery cover and make sure it click on the right place.
place the battery back in the phone and put the cover back.
power on your phone.
mission completed.
PS: I DID NOT CHANGE THE MIDDLE PART OF THE HOUSING FOR WARRANTY REASON. BUT IT'S THE SAME THOUGH.
AND IM not responsible for any damages caused to your phone.
and i hope you guys find it helpful. |

Uhm, mayby so... Except from when you have to leave it to a service center so they can fix whatever your problem is. And they see that you have been opening the phone to repaint it.. They don't care if your warranty is broken or not, if your telephone is in another colour. They know you have been there and opening it. = No warranty! 
(sorry for my bad english)

I gotta say that the black does nothing for me personally and I do like the red but the good value in this thread is the fantastic pictures showing how to replace covers on the T610!

If you do this in the UK I bet you'll make quite a few new friends (who will want one too!)
