    It's been four years since my last popular paint job:
    I painted my XPS M1530 lid
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/224478-i-painted-my-xps-m1530-lid.html

    Thinkpads are workstations and not made for looks. The main layout has been the same for years... so I decided to make mine, well.... MINE!
    I wanted POWER & LOOKS!

    Before: (first to clean up the keyboard area)

    I will get some outdoor shots as soon as the sun comes back out (been raining past few days) to really bring out the color.

    Nice (even though I would have selected another color for the bezel :p). Are you going to paint the palm rest too?
