I think it'd be kinda neat to paint it the same color as the "perl"
I was looking on ebay for parts but didnt find much also looked online an nothing really.
Any suggestions?

"perl" or "pearl"? Well, If you would like to try, maybe spray painting it yourself with some enamel paint, the same stuff used to paint cars. Just make sure you remove the silver ring from the rest of the phone and trackball and paint it outside or in your garage, somewhere with good ventilation.
Start by painting it with some primer, this will make the paint stick better. Then the base coat of whatever color you wish (the same color as the trackball, color of the phone, or even the same color as your car!
) After the base, it's time for the clear coat to give the paint added protection. Feel free to use more than one coat and remember numerous thin coats are better than one thick coat..
If your lazy, on a budget, or just plain cheap, I guess you can skip the primer and clearcoat and just give it a base coat, but I recommend atleast a coat of primer so the paint would stick.
