My custom modification of a factory OEM Nokia Lumia 920 shell.
I just loved the Dual Shot design of the Lumia 620, so I improvised and created a dual shot for the Lumia 920 by using the Duplicolor Metalcast paints. These coloured paints are transparent, which creates the same Dual Shot effect of the Lumia 620.
I wanted an orange phone so I started with an OEM Nokia yellow shell and shot a very light application of Metalcast Red with a couple coats of clear. The result is a gorgeous orange dual shot finish.
I polished it off by wetsanding and using 3M polishing compounds.
Duplicolor Metalcast part numbers:
MC200 - Red Anodized
MC201 - Blue Anodized
MC202 - Yellow Anodized
MC203 - Green Anodized
MC204 - Purple Anodized
MC205 - Orange Anodized
MC206 - Smoke Anodized
3M Polishing part numbers:
Start with 05954 Medium Cut Rubbing Compound
Then 39002 Fine Cut Rubbing Compound
Finish it with 05990 Hand Glaze
Here is a short video of the entire procedure.

While I do really like it... I kinda really liked the matte yellow look that I achieved in the process of making the Dual Shot Orange. I might switch it to yellow. Or make another dual shot of some crazy colour like purple. Also remember that you can layer two Metalcast paints on top of each other so you can make a Tri Shot or Quad Shot shell (or even more) if you wish!
