    well, a couple of weeks ago, i posted a thread asking as to how i could disMANTLE my ugly acer aspire 1694wlmi for me to be able to paint it... somehow got that done, and forwarded the awesome configured, ugly looking thing to a paint manufacturer here to let them unleash whatever they had to get atleast a bit of a look, ofcourse with colors identified by me... well i went with matte black at first, got it looking a bit more like K.I.T. from knight rider, which wasn't exactly the look i was going for... so i got them to ultra gloss it for me and still with one more FINAL coat to go... i present to you... THE ACER ASPIRE 1694WLMi "PHANTOM".... (not the best pics, but sure will post on later once the final coat is done...)

    now if someone has any suggestions with any tribal flamework that i could get done, it would be greatly appreciated....

    sorry for the delayed response bhd, had been away for a while... but it didn't cost me a thing to get it painted and thanks for appreciating it... i knew someone in dulux paints here and had them get it done for me.... its the last coat of polish that they are developing that i'm waiting to get done now, after which it will look even better...

    apart from that, a general question if anyone maybe able to offer any advice... should i get some tribal artwork done on the lcd plate or just leave it as a glossy black... if anything does come to mind, please post ideas for small dark designs that may sit right in the centre of the plate... thanks all
