I just bought a cell phone off ebay. Its a T-mobile SDA if ya know what that is….a smart phone. It’s pretty kewl and does lots of stuff BUT the paint is chipping off. I need to know what kind of paint would be best to use on it. I know I need a primer first. My fiancee suggested model paint. Is that a good idea? And yes, before anyone says anything, I will be taking it apart to paint it and will be using my old cell phone for a couple off days to let it dry. I don’t want the paint to chip or get smudgy. I want the best apint available. ANy ideas? Thanks! Love ya!

    model paint might work but it will wear after the touch of your hands…body oils and touch will eventually chip it off or age the surface. The problem with a cell phone is that it is about 90% plastic and there are not too many plastic paint products out there that hold up…….there are automotive paints that have a strong epoxy base so they stand up to being held better…one of the best paints on the market would be boat paint….it dries hard and is is resistant to weather it can take water and oils…it comes in a great variety of colors and can be found at any aquamarine or boat supply store…some paint stores can order it….there’s also an outdoor extra heavy duty enamel but it comes in limited colors and only sprays on….good luck.. popartist

    Wouldn’t you just get a cell phone cover for it? If that doesn’t work well appliance paint.I honestly never herd of painting a cell phone.Cases are the way to go they make cases for all most any cell phone.Appliance paint is very durable make sure you scratch it up well before painting other wise it will chip the new paint. jean l
