Anyway, it's scratched to hell and I want to add a soft touch or matte finish to it. It's a fingerprint magnet as well.
How do I go about this?

Lrn2sand, primer paint.

>>
>>942275
use car wax as oleophobic coating
>>
>>942360
use oleomargarine as a carnubaphobic coating
>>
>>942275
Plastidip would be the cheapest and easiest way to add a matte finish and bonus for being grippy.
>>
Add some WD-40
>>
Just buy a case, you pain in the ass.
>>
green scotch brite and lots of elbow grease
>>
>>942275
easy.

2000+ sand paper.
>>
>>942275
Either sand it to whatever you want or get a phone shaped sticker thing from dbrand.
>>
>>942275
Matte sparay paint? For plastic?
>>
>>942275
lol. Didn't expect to see my own picture here. I took this for work. One of the last phones I reviewed.
>>
Make sure you sand it with the grain before painting. I'd do about a 3500 grit then probably matte.

I've been considering self-adhesive veneer for that full on hipster look.
>>
>>943727
There is no self-adhesive veneer. You need to apply a layer of adhesive onto the veneer before it can adhere.
>>
>>943733
Yes, quite right. No fooling you I see. Can't glue the veneers on with just the natural resins.
There is however a fairly large market for veneers with adhesive backing.
>>
>>942809
Just saying that I took that picture when I worked for Pocketnow.
>>
>>943781
>>943733
What?
There certainly is peel and stick veneer
>>
get a skin like dbrand or similar
