Question about the 1Ghz Pandoras.

[Pilgrim]

Can you still get black instead of a silver case color on the 1Ghz versions?

 

[Fzero]

Nope, only silver ones.


Some people have demonstrated how you can strip the silver paint layer though leaving you with a black case

In addition to what FZERO said:

If you have the skills to do so, you could order all necessary parts of a black case here and exchange the case yourself. But this has some downsides:

• there probably aren't all parts available without scratches
• the case was redesigned for a reason
• the hinge / LCD-Cable part is a bit tricky

 

[DaMummy]

your choices are either a color you dont want, or a case that will crack

I seem to remember ED offer somewhere to send an empty case to be painted and assemble the Pandora after the painted case has been sent back.

 

[Monkfish]

you can always repaint the case in any colour you like, i've seen this done before. You need to be careful about what paint to use and obviously take the case off before painting

That was some rich dude that wanted a blue pandora. ED was like "nope but ill tell you how to do it yourself" and that was that

Alright, I don't mind if I have to do a bit of re-modeling. Thank you all for your replies I appreciate it.

Why isn't there any airbrush art yet on those boards?

I wish I had the equipment.

You can buy a black case for something like $10 from ED's store.

I got a spare somewhere.

I need to replace my silver one - It's cracking on one corner :S

I was disappointed not to be able to get the black color that I was originally promised, but really, the silver is far less gaudy than I would have thought. It's actually kind of pretty in its own way.
