Covering Worn Paint

Hi, After 2 years of use, the paint on my Acer Aspire 5684 WLMi has started to wear out. Mostly on the corners and beside the touch pad. I have looked through the forum and found that one solution would be to re-paint the laptop. Are any other solutions viable i.e. buy new part from acer or putting a sticker on to cover it. Thanks very much

 

hmm
I am not adviser on repainting because I suck 100% at delicate paint jobs.
If you do repaint it... after it dries and all I would then put some type of cover or protector on the palms to prevent this from happening again.

 

Thanks for the tip.

I am not too confident in re-painting the laptop are there any other viable ways of covering the patches/ whole laptop.

 

If you would like to get creative, you could get something like:
http://www.laptopskins.eu/
Now I know those are for the lid of the laptop, but if you laid it out on your keyboard panel and cut out the keyboard/touchpad/speakers/buttons into that skin you could lay it out on your panel, covering the palm-rest and what not, know what I mean?

 

If this sounds good to you, buy some tacking paper... maybe black or something kinda leather looking, and put a square over each palmrest.

 

you could buy a whole new plastic palm wrest for it.

 

Thanks very much for the Ideas! I definitely like the lid skin idea. I might even put one on the lid itself.

Do you know where I can buy it?

 

Ebay or craigslist
