DIY PERSONALIZE YOUR SIDEKICK 3 for less than 20 dollars !!

DIY PERSONALIZE YOUR SIDEKICK 3 for less than 20 dollars !!
Colorwarepc.com offers personalization for many products (including the sidekick 3).But if you looking for a cheaper alternative instead of paying $100.00 and waiting 8-10 days then this is it. This is also good if you want to know how to completely disassemble your sidekick.

This is my first instructable. So many pardons in advance if I wasn't detailed enough,

Step 1Gather your supplies.

Gather your supplies.
I already had all these supplies, so this project costed me nothing.

Here's a list of all you need to get started:

1. a sidekick 3 (duh...)

2. a razor blade or exacto knife

3. some sandpaper
the finer the grit - the less scatches it will leave but the more time it will take
the heavier the grit - the more scratches it will leave but the less time it will take
(you can expiriment with different kinds)

4. Spray paint (gloss paint optional)

5. the finest size flathead and phillips screwdriver. Mine in the picture has both.

6. masking tape (any size will do)

7. Latex gloves (optional)

8. Some patience.

You have to sand it.I did it without sanding and the underlying paint started to peel off and become goo.

the paint looks a hell of a lot better when you sand the surface first
