Today everyone wants to stand out somehow, and a mobile phone is the best choice for this purpose. Not only covers and replaceable protective panels can make it interesting and bright. Painting your phone will help add some originality to your gadget. In order to correctly carry out the registration, you need to know some nuances, as well as the step-by-step steps, which is what we will talk about in this article.

Removing old paint

To ensure high-quality painting, it is necessary to improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface. Painting over old paint can cause some problems. There are some points to consider here:

• To remove old paint It’s better to use “Paint Remover” - that’s what it’s called.

Important! It is worth noting that it has an incredibly strong, bad smell, therefore all work must be carried out outdoors.

• It is not advisable to use acetone or solvents (with the exception of solvent 646), because if the body of your gadget is made of plastic, it may simply corrode.
• If the old paint stubbornly refuses to come off, then it’s okay, it means that it adheres securely to the body and should not cause problems when painting.

Important! If you still want to remove it, you will have to use sandpaper.

Surface preparation

Before you paint your phone at home, you need to properly prepare the surface.

Removing scratches

If there are deep scratches or even chips on the case, it is, of course, better to eliminate them. You can use automotive putty for this.

However, you still have to take the sandpaper in hand - you need to sand the top layer of the material, create micro-scratches invisible to the eye for better “adhesion” of the new paint to the surface.

Important! These steps can remove possible small scratches on the case. To do this, you should take a skin with a face value of 180-240, and then carry out a final cleaning in increasing order: 400, then 800 and finish with 1000-1400.

Degrease the surface

It is not advisable to degrease the surface with white spirit or gasoline - it is best suited for these purposes. alcohol solution. But if your conscience is tormenting you, then you can carry out degreasing using a household “Fairy”.

Perform the operation using a piece of gauze or a cotton swab, and then leave the part to dry.

We prime

It is advisable to prime the surface before applying new paint. For these purposes, it is recommended to use primer in a can, since the layer applied will be much smaller than when painting with a brush, and it will dry faster.

Here's what to consider when doing this job:

• Before painting, cover all areas that do not require painting with masking tape.
• Apply the primer in layers, holding the can approximately 30 cm from the horizontal surface.
• Don't apply too much primer at once.
• Dry the soil with a little elevated temperature, but do not blow with a hairdryer, as this may blow up dust or move layers of solution.

Important! For drying, it is better to use a heater or incandescent lamp.

• After the soil has dried, sand it with fine sandpaper.

Painting

You need to start by choosing the right paint. Everything here is more or less simple - it’s better to take paint in a can.

Important! It is advisable to choose not the cheapest paint. But you shouldn’t buy very expensive ones either.

There are also some nuances when painting:

• Paint should be done from the edges to the center.
• Don't skimp on paint on the edges - let some of the stream pass by.
• If a drip has formed, wait until the paint dries, take fine sandpaper and sand it. Then continue painting.
• Do not touch the paint with your hands until it is completely dry.

Important! If you use chrome or metallic paint, then the parts should dry much longer, since these paints dry up to two days.

Image application options

Now let's talk about possible options for how to paint your phone at home. Let's look at them in order of increasing complexity.

Using stencils

Using stencils and the same spray paint, the drawing can turn out to be quite clear, although this option is more suitable for various types of texts or mechanisms, rather than for highly artistic images. However, nevertheless, this method has the right to life:

• Most simple stencils made from thick paper using scissors or a stationery knife.

Important! Due to the loose fit of the paper to the surface, the paint may stick out beyond the outline, although in some cases this effect is used specifically.

• The best option is a self-adhesive film, for example, construction film. The outline is also cut out with a stationery knife. But if you have a very small and complex drawing, you can take it to be cut with a plotter.

Color transition

Also, a very interesting option for painting your phone would be a color transition. The transitions will be quite smooth, so you won’t be able to make many stripes.

In addition, there are such wonderful things as “Caps” - these are special attachments for spray cans that change the thickness of the jet. As a rule, they are used by people who do graffiti.

Important! Having a fine stream allows you to create more intricate designs.

Airbrush

Using an airbrush is the most beautiful, high-quality and, at the same time, expensive way to apply an image to your phone. The airbrush makes it possible to apply lines up to 1 mm and create smooth, beautiful transitions.

Important! For this option, you will have to invest a lot of money, although with the condition that this will not be a single job, as in previous cases.

For full operation you will need the following:

• The airbrush itself.
• Compressor.
• Some little things like hoses for connecting, and, of course, paint.

Varnish coating

Since a phone is a device that is exposed to a lot of mechanical stress, varnishing is very desirable for it. This procedure is even more necessary for the same metallic and chrome.

First you need to decide what kind of coating you want - matte or glossy. Sometimes the final painting result greatly depends on this:

• Gloss. To obtain a glossy finish, as a rule, ordinary varnish in cans is used. It is applied with a soft brush, not pressing the brush too hard so as not to scratch the surface.

Important! It is better to repeat the procedure several times. The thickness of the layer will depend on the viscosity of the varnish used. That is, the thinner the varnish, the thinner the coating will be.

• Matte finish. This type requires varnish in cans. But be careful, since the varnish in cans can be not only matte, but also glossy - consult the seller about the compatibility of varnish and paint.

Important! To create a durable coating, you will have to apply many layers of matte varnish.

Even a well-worn mobile phone will shine like new!

With a little time and paint, you can update the body of your old mobile phone, or you can change the color of the new one if you don’t like it.

1. Before painting, you need to prepare the phone: remove the case, thoroughly clean, dry and, if necessary, degrease.

2. Cover with tape the areas that should not be touched by paint (for example, the camera lens).

3. Place the phone case on the spread newspapers.

4. First, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of aerosol primer for plastic BosnyPlasticPrimer - then the paint will “stick” better.

5. After 5 minutes, apply a thin layer acrylic paint Bosny in the selected color.

6. After 1-2 minutes, apply the second layer. If necessary, apply additional thin layers of paint until you achieve the desired level of color saturation.

7. After the paint has dried (after about 10-15 minutes), you can apply aerosol varnish. This will make the surface shiny and additionally protect it from wear.

ATTENTION:

1. You need to paint when room temperature in a room with good ventilation.

2. Before use, shake the can well.

3. Paint is applied from a distance of 20-25 cm.

4. After work, you need to turn the can upside down and press the spray button until clean air comes out. After this, the can with the remaining paint can be stored until the next time - there will be no dried paint on the sprayer that would clog the sprayer valve and prevent reuse.

5. Although Bosny paint dries very quickly (from dust in 10-15 minutes), it is recommended to use painted objects no earlier than a day later, when the coating has completely dried.

An attribute of any person in modern world is, of course, a telephone! And every owner of such a device, especially women and girls, wants it to look beautiful, fashionable and original. Currently, a variety of removable protective panel covers, which are created from the most various materials. But if you wish, you can add a certain brightness to your phone yourself, for example, if you paint its back cover in an original way. Exactly what paints are best suited for this purpose and how exactly to decorate your phone with them so that the paint does not fly off after a few weeks will be discussed in detail in this article.

Necessary materials and tools for painting a phone:

- spray varnish;

— paints in cans of various colors that must be combined with each other;

- sandpaper;

- a thin small screwdriver;

- sponge for painting.

First stage.

First, you need to take the phone and remove the back cover. If the back cover is difficult to remove, then you will need to pry it off with a thin screwdriver or a metal file. Also, if necessary, you will need to remove the buttons and speaker grille from the cover. They are found on certain phone models and do not need to be painted over. These details should be set aside.

Second stage.

Then you will need to wipe the phone cover from dirt and dust. If the back panel of the phone has a glossy surface, then it will need to be sanded using sandpaper. This is necessary so that the paint can adhere better. Sanding must be done very, very carefully! You should try not to leave deep scratches. After finishing work with sandpaper, be sure to wipe the phone panel with a rag.

Third stage.

After this, you will need to cover the work surface with rags or paper in order to protect it from paint. The back cover of the phone will need to be placed on any unnecessary object so that it hangs in the air. It will be much more difficult to work directly on the table, since the sides will also need to be painted.

Fourth stage.

The next step is to cover the phone panel with a thick base coat of paint. For this purpose you will need white paint.

Fifth stage.

Then you will need to paint the back cover of the phone with paints of various colors. You need to apply paint in layers, but the layers should be thin, and you don’t need to paint the surface completely! Before applying the next layer of paint, you need to let the previous paint dry a little.

Sixth stage.

You can also add visual effects in the form of splashes of paint. For this purpose, you will need to apply the paint to a brush and spray the phone panel with it, or you can use a sponge for painting.

Seventh stage.

Then you need to let the paint dry, after which you will need to spray the varnish on the surface of the back cover of the phone. The varnish can be matte or glossy. It all depends entirely on your preferences. The varnish must be applied in two or three layers in order to level the surface of the phone panel.

Eighth stage.

After the varnish has completely and thoroughly dried, you can already attach the phone cover in place.

On some models of modern smartphones, the back panels cannot be easily removed. And in order to be able to paint them, you will need to unscrew the small mounting screws. And only then, having removed the cover, can it be painted! The staining process in such cases will be exactly the same.

How to paint a phone?

Is your old phone covered in scratches, is the paint faded and peeling off in places? No problem! You can paint your phone yourself and even turn it into a work of art with a little effort. And quickly and cheaply.

What you will need:

• telephone
• spray paint
• masking tape (paper tape)
• fine sandpaper
• screwdrivers for mobile phones
• varnish in a can
• stationery knife
• solvent (optional)
• gloves (optional)

Here's one for 100 rubles. but doesn't hold up well.

First, we go to a hardware store and buy screwdrivers for mobile phones. Then we go to the auto store and buy sandpaper, paint, varnish and masking tape. It is advisable to use better paint; bad paint does not stick well. The paint must be suitable for the phone body, that is, for metal or plastic. A can of paint costs from 100 rubles, varnish the same, screwdrivers 50 rubles, tape (take the narrowest one), sandpaper 30 rubles (fine, but not very fine).

Let's choose where we will paint. The room should be well ventilated, clean, and free of dust. The temperature should be room temperature, about +23 Celsius.

Let's disassemble the phone. Disassembly diagrams are available on the Internet; it is not necessary to disassemble down to the last microcircuit.

Sand the areas to be painted. Be careful not to scratch. Degrease with solvent, but you can do without it.

We seal all areas that do not need painting with masking tape.

Let's start painting. Place a couple of bags on the floor, you can put the phone on a sheet of paper (be careful, make sure it doesn’t stick to it in the future!) Carefully read the instructions on the spray paint can. Shake the can for 2-3 minutes, then apply the first layer (do not overdo it, you need to apply it very thinly). After some time (look at the specific time on the can, from 2 minutes to 20) we apply the same thin second layer. We're waiting for an hour.

After an hour, apply the varnish in the same way as paint (look at the spray can). One layer is enough.

Remove the tape and leave for 4 hours. If everything is fine, we assemble the phone and enjoy. If there is no #8211, we repeat everything again. To check. If the paint has dried, poke it into an inconspicuous place with a toothpick; if necessary, leave it for a few more hours. We remove the paint with a solvent (you can use regular nail polish remover).

You can paint it in several colors (no more than three #8211 will be tasteless), you can apply designs with a stencil. You can also order a sticker on thin cellophane from a printing house, after painting, stick it on the phone, then varnish the top. Everything is limited by your desires and imagination.

Alternatively, you can paint your phone with regular nail polish. If you know how to apply it evenly, of course. This method is much cheaper and simpler, but is not suitable for metal cases.

• Be careful when disassembling, do not break off the fragile housing fasteners
• Protect your breathing when painting. You can cover your mouth like a cowboy with a bandana or a regular kitchen towel. You can simply pull the T-shirt up to your ears.
• Be careful not to get paint on your hands.
• My advice, buy a better case. Moreover, it is original, not Chinese. Save time and nerves.

good, detailed instructions, especially the last tip.+

Very original, you don’t see something like this very often, +

Will the case close properly after painting? It’s just that some phones are made of very high quality; if you put a piece of paper under the lid (on the battery), the lid will not close. And when we paint there will be an additional layer of paint#8230

How long will this type of paint last?

It is not necessary to paint such places at all. To be honest, I don’t know about the time. depends on the quality of the paint, varnish and painting. if the thinner #8211 the better. In general, the article was written based on my unsuccessful painting experience, one of these days I’m going to repeat it. don't repeat my mistakes!

Cool! Original and imaginative!

Will it be ok to lay on plastic?

and here’s one more question: will it shine?

I'm telling you, you have to buy paint specifically for plastic. The paint can be glossy or matte. Glossy shines, matte does not. Plus there is also a varnish on top, even the matte one will shine.

oh. so fucked up. That's it guys, I have a new phone. +1

You can also use caparol or something like that from a large jar and paint it with a brush. If your hand is full of all sorts of drawings, then you can draw a pattern. and varnish.

I noticed an error #8211 in the warning:

And if you are a major #8211, order panels from Japan for $500!!

Very original. Do it and be sure that you have exclusive fashion!

It seems to me that it’s easier to buy a new socket!

But there is a plus with painting your own, you can paint it to your liking! =)

Body polystyrene #8230 Taking the advice, many will ruin the parts of the body #8230 from nitroacrylic paints, namely, they are usually charged into cans, polystyrene will float and begin to melt #8230 You need to buy materials in a car store #8230 It will get rid of matting and rustling with sandpaper, and will eliminate the conflict between materials primer for plastic - from BODI or MOTIP (manufacturers of panties, the second one will be better.) Apply several thin layers of primer, and paint carefully with a thin spray of 3-4 layers, and then when the paint lies tightly, you can apply it more intensely. On top, varnish and polishing paste for varnish is not bad would#8230

thanks for the clarification)

It’s cool, I like this way you can paint not only phones but also other things, when he was visiting my uncle, he’s also an artist and he has a portable DVD player there so painted that it’s wow! He painted with paints from a bottle using adhesive tape and ended up with a golden dragon on the lid!

Large smooth surfaces are easiest to paint with non-fired stained glass paints. sold in any artist's shop or children's store.

Bold instructions. But the sandpaper should still be the finest, such as #8220 micron #8221, so that scratches on the body do not remain and are not visible to the naked eye. If scratches still remain, it is better to polish with GOI paste. And it is better not to use solvent on plastic cases so that the paint applies evenly.
