Keep in mind that you NEED to call your reseller first and make sure this is not going to void your warranty. If it does void your warranty, make sure you have home-owner's/renter's insurance that will cover your laptop in case it ever breaks down.

 

would the reseller be the place im buying it from>< i know stupid question
if yes i bet ya it will, its comet

 

Yes, the reseller is the place you purchase the notebook. Most resellers don't actually mind the lid being painted (and the review above even mentions that laptopdesignusa has an agreement with most major OEMs that their process will NOT void the warranty), but it's always better to be safe than to find out later that your $200 Hellsing logo means you can't have your $2000 notebook repaired under warranty.

 

dam that like a £100 its bit expensive, do you know any cheaper places
i was looking at istyles, do you know if they make custom designs?

 

I'm not too familiar with notebook customization shops...I found the link above doing a Google search .

 

FYI - if in the US they can not legally void your warranty for a paint job - link in sig for more info

 

Paint jobs doesn't have anything to do with internals of the laptop. The warranty shouldn't be voided. It's only cosmetics.

 

well that would be okay if i lived in the us but i live in england........

 

Then check your laws there. I know many of the laws pertaining to warranties here so I always add that. I would imagine you guys have pretty decent consumer protection so it would be worth looking into.

 

well i can confirm that adding the picture would NOT void my warrenty which is good^^

 

sweeet

I do not know any in Europe. If you find someone let me know and I'll post it up.

If you can't find someone who specializes in computers.....

My Asus was painted by an airbrush guy in St Louis. It was the first computer he had painted (he does motorcycles). It is automotive paint. Most good size citys have someone who is more than capable of doing a good job. You want to find someone with experience on bikes and/or cars. It is also VERY important to look at thier work and make sure they have the skill and experience to provide the artwork you want. Make sure the notebook is masked very well and there is no reason not to expect very good results.

 

i was looking at istyles but im not sure if they do custom work.
