Tell me why the coating is bad? I have been wondering why they were not able to do this a LONG time ago with other cell phones. With the coating, the phone NEVER slips out of my hand, and I don’t have to worry about getting an additional cover, as it holds up to just about everything. ONLY issues I have with the OCEAN is the font size (wish they knew FEW people can read point six font comfortably) AND wish the web browser were a true web browser. That’s it. FONT SIZE and TRUE WEB are the only issues I have. I heard that Ocean II will have an enlarged font, but don’t know about the web.

i’d highly suggest “cooking” it once you put on the clear coat! keep the oven temp to 100-115 degrees so the plastic doesn’t melt but it’s high enough to harden the paint & clear coat. i’d say an hour would do it just fine. i had to do this when i finished painting my paintball gun since the clear coat gets dinged up easily, even with rust-oleum! you’ll thank me later when accidentally whack it against something

this sounds like a really neat project you have here. can’t wait to see the finished product.
oh, you could always stencil the helio logo back onto the phone.

U shud give it the glossy look. Also, I suggest air brushing…quick and easy.

This is sweet. I would love to do this to my ocean but it is my only one and it might destroy it. But it is still freakin sweet!
