Painted my Dell 6400

I decided to paint my 6400 in the semester. With the help of janavar®, I made a to do list, started.The used colors are Duplicolor Medium Bronze and UV Lemon Yellow.

I painted touchpad also. (Most people don't paint it) I want to add that touchpad still works perfect.

Unfortunately there is one coat of paint here. If i had time for second coat, it could be more shiny.

Around touchpad. There are bubbles at touchpad because I cover it with a transparent foil (prevent from paint rubbing)

very nice job

will you list the materials you used

also how did you decide on the Bronze and yellow as colors

 

I used

Priming coat: Duck Color Priming Coat Spray
Colors: Duplicolor Medium Bronze (2 cans) and Lemon yellow
For white paint under uv: Duplicolor white
Hi Shining spray glaze: Marshall spray glaze

Sandpapers: 500, 1000 and 1200 wet sanding

Masking tape, pen knife etc..

How i decided colors?
I decided to paint two colors, went to bauhaus, looked for a metallic paint. I liked the bronze color. then i looked for a well matched color, uv yellow was nice for it

 

Holy craappp that is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! Nice work!

 

NICE!!!! Whenever you said Bronze and lemon, I thought "eww" But it really does look good!

 

That last photo sort of reminds me of a Terminator with the skin pulled off.

 

Oh wowsa! That is really good work!

Kudos!
