    I'm just not good enough, I'd prefer a pro job. I want a pattern similar to this one in blue. (Minus the words and horse dude.)

    I would second the recommendation to contact Xoticpc regarding this. Justin is the gentleman I have spoken to in the past, and he is more than helpful.

    They ship out some pretty great custom work, so I'm assuming they would be able to get you in touch with the right folks.

    Just in case you didn't know because the title is not clear, you aren't going to buy a custom painted lid. You are going to remove the lid from your computer and get mail to someone to get custom painted.

    I can just buy a replacement lid piece, and send that to get painted. Switch them when it gets here finished.
