    Easy to apply "skins" or other mod for color?

    Goofy question maybe, but to me it is serious. Here is the problem. I truly hate the color combo of black and orange. Love black and red though. Just a personal choice. IF there was a fantastic deal on a black lappy with orange, is there a fairly easy, good looking way to cover the orange with something to make it all look mostly black??

    I didn't realize we had a cosmetics section. Thanks for shifting this over to the right group.
    My sound a little illogical, but there are two laptops which I like in some ways very much, but would rather not have the Orange mixed with the black.
    One is the Asus, and the other is the FX (Gateway), both of which are on sale I think.
    Any suggestions??

    You can try getting a custom skin made. Their are numerous places on line. Their is a sticky in the cosmetic section, which has the names of a few. From their you can either make your own design, or you can upload an image and have it printed on a vinyl sticker to the dimensions of your system.

    Or you can do it the easy way, and use a red sharpie :D
