    Thanks. I just need to figure out how to layer the coats, the clear(s) and pigments. Better test it on an old mouse or something. :eek:

    you could try scouring the forums for tips too im sure theyre many who haf done paint jobs on their respective machines
    maybe starting a thread would suffice :)
    if you do paint your notebook be sure to make it glossy i mean so that it would have a classsy finish or try using automotive paint i bet it would give it a good finish
    .

    colors always a personal preference
    to each his own :D :D :p

    i second that, if you're gonna spend all that time and effort, might as make it so that it gets noticed. black, white, smoke......you can get those from other oems/odms already.

    This is very interesting. Like choosing the colour of your next car but even better since there are way more colours.

    Out of all those colors, I would choose Smoke (bright white). I just love that color for this notebook and I love the feel of it.

    If you wanted a more colorful one, I'd go with Candy Apple, yes, but I don't exactly love it.

    I voted for steel. I like dragon, though, and alpine and candy apple. I'm no help. :) It's really what you feel you can look at for long periods of time. The more you draw attention the more need for a lojack at school.
    What DID you decide on?
