I like the idea. It would also work well using plastic picnic cups, which might be more durable. Alternatively, paint PVA wood glue over the paper cups. PVA glue will dry to a clear plastic like coating. Also, I'm not sure you need to put masking tape over the phone hole, just let the spray go in. It will save you painting over it when you remove the masking tape and will give a smoother finish. The silver though looks awesome and gives it a real techie look!
