Ultramarines blue, Blood red, Sunburst yellow & Dark angels green.
Mithril silver, Bolt gun metal & Shining gold.

Nice job dude!

Painting
Awesome - exactly as the Nexus should have been sold

Forgot to say
A few bits I forgot to mention.
I used Skull white as an under coat for the blue, red, yellow & green. On the metallic colours, Chaos black was used as a base coat followed by Bolt gun metal, then the Mithril silver & Shining gold were added top & bottom.
Any excess paint was lightly scraped off with a modelling knife.
Once the painting was totally finished, I used an old dry green scrubbing pad & lightly rubbed/buffed off any excess paint I couldn't scrape off.
Thanks for the comments.

That's pretty hardcore

That is pretty damned sweet, indeed. I might give something like that a go with the Asus slim travel case I have on my Nexus 7, would definitely make it a bit more unique.

Great job. Feel like writing up a tutorial on that?

that has totally given me some inspiration...

Nice this is now on my to-do list.

Great job! Can you make a boot animation to match?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

That is really neat, great job man.
What kind of paint did you use?

Thank you all for the comments.
To answer a few questions.
1. There's a simple little guide in post 6.
2. I won't be making a boot animation, as I don't know how to.
3. Games Workshop paints were used. Full list of colours post 3.
Cheers,
Doug

They should all come from the factory looking like this. Nice work!

Hey, do you mind posting a copy of this on my "Post pics of your Nexus 7" thread? (With a link back to this thread of course). It would be an awesome contribution.

Nexus 7 Custom Colored Back

So I got my Nexus 7 and was excited to see it up close and in my hands. Once I received it I fell in love with its design and feel. But one thing was missing on the back. The back was just to plain and boring for me. Google could have at least colored in the Nexus logo to spice things up. So instead I went ahead and did my own coloring on the back of my Nexus 7. See the pictures below. If you guys want I can make a tutorial on how I did it and what I used. Thanks! :laugh:
Don't see.

What do you mean?
That's pretty smart, I like it. It would have been a nice idea to have a line of coloured backs ready to upsell on eager new owners, but I suppose they don't want people jimmying off the backs to replace them
BTW, yeah, I'd like to know what sort of paint you used, acrylic?
It looks good. I'm holding out for the custom backs sure to come.

Very cool paint job. I dont have one yet but I assume that the logos is carved in the back and you just used some paint to paint in the spots?
Very cool paint job! I'd like to try this as well

Looks pretty sweet... If I were to do it I'd only do the Nexus.
But yeah, what did you use and you'll have to update on if it holds up.
Cool... Mine will be in a slim case soon, but I could get my Daughter to do that (Graphic artist with all the paints and tools).

I used Elmers Painters Neon Pack from Amazon. I bought them just to try this out. I wouldn't really recommend these because the tip is to big to get the paint into the engraving and it took me awhile to clean it up. And it doesn't seem like the paint would really hold up that long. Im going to try to take out all the paint and re-do the color with some better markers.
This is really cool! Definitely makes the back look much more enticing and, I think Google and Asus should've designed something like this to begin with.
I'll be trying this out for sure! Nice work!

That looks pretty cool. Although people, be careful if you want to try paint on your backing, it might not be very easy to find a new one if you screw up. It seems to have the NFC antenna on it as mentioned on this xda unboxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iNWRto0Vf0M#t=316s

OFF TOPIC... My sons android addiction

A while back I gave my six year old son my Droid x2. It was loaded down with games and music and is running CM7DX2 with v6 supercharger. He messed with it a while and grew pretty fond of it and basically
discarded his iPod touch that his grandparents got him. Well it came time to paint his room t our new house and I asked him what theme he wanted. He turned on our 4g hotspots, messed with the phone and showed me a picture of a Droid. Said he wanted his room green and Droids on his wall. Well I have started on the project and have the first Droid painted. (See Below) what do you guys think.. I am thinking about painting the super use icon for him to, but not sure. Any ideas would help.....

Portenzo Bookcase - Video Review

If you are interested in getting a really nice case for your Nexus 7 check this one out. I know there have been other reviews, but I figured I'd post up a video incase anyone was curious.
Sorry for the blurriness...working on it.
Good review of the case. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

No problem, I also forgot the mention that if you get a metal stylus it will stick right to the front of the case with the magnet.

i like the lime one. if i was a girl definitely i would go for the rose gold
Black is definitely a safe choice for men, but the Mocha isn't too bad either.
Just picked up a mocha colored one at BB. They matched the Tmobile online price. All I showed was a print screen of the watch on the basket with the discount showing.

In my opinion there are only 2 colors suitable to men.
- Black
- Grey
I went with black.
The other colors are on personal tastes but as I businessman the above 2 colors are the best.
Rose gold we are nerds and I'm bold enough to rock out with style. Ladies love it non nerds are jealous.

A significant proportion of the worlds most exclusive watches for men are made from rose gold.
Tough guys were pink. Guess, Rose Gold has a pinkish hue to it, right? I haven't seen one in person!
You rock, man!
too bad its the pink gold that gets frequently out of stock lol
Black, and if you want to coordinate with your tie or something like that, choose a watch face with color.
