    thanks for the tip pic has been updated. The pictures are terrible I didn't realize until I was posting how bad I did on the picture taking.

    PS, in the "before pictures" you can clearly see the after painted computer in the background. What gives?

    And the girl. :p
    Nice job. Looks pretty good.
    Was that actually free-hand airbrushing? If so, its awesome.

    perhaps he forgot to take the "before" pictures and he showed the girl's lappy instead as they have the same model

    My first attempt at painting was a d800 and I used household spray paint which has done horrible and I plan to start it over. The second attempt was on a d600 using automotive spray paint. After I painted it I decided I wanted to get rid of the dell logo, the line on the cover, the line by the keyboard and the ridges on the bottom.
