I have one of those horrible looking Sony Ericsson Bluetooth HBH-PV700 headsets. White and lime green. YUCK! See here. (pic)
So, what I want to do is open it up, paint it, then put it back together. (Just paint the white and green bits.)

Any ideas how to open it?

Yeah I tried wedging a knife into the side, but didn't really work. Plus the knife was maybe too bendy. I don't have any screw drivers thin enough. But I'm thinking there's a proper way to get it apart. I'd rather not damage the thing, even though it was a freebie.

So I tried prying it apart with a flathead screwdriver. No success.
I ended up taping off the areas and painting it that way. It looks miles better now. Whoever thought of lime green and white for an ear piece needs a kick in the pants.
