Here's the laptop I did for Greco. By the way Greco, it's in the mail.

Take it easy.

In the mail? Why he should drag his ass up there to 29 palms and pick it up. Then take him over Camp Wilson for some fun.

Seriously, awesome work as always T. +rep

Here's hoping that either:

a) you didnt send it yet
b) the mail holds it and doesnt lose it until Greco gets un-evacuated from the fires.

Slick looking job though. If my new laptop were mine and not my works, I'd be painting it.

I got it today. The main actually looks pretty damn awesome in person but the white trim turned out yellow. :o(



To be fair, I wanted to give an unbiased review.

Here is my prototype design:

Here is the first job:

The second job I didn't care for in pictures... but it grew on me in person pretty quickly. The only thing is the edges turned yellow. The edges weren't supposed to be painted (1st job) so he repainted them white and they turned yellow for whatever reason and they no longer match the rest of the laptop. If you see his pictures, there doesn't appear to be any yellow on the trim so I'm thinking it had something to do with heat/packing? No idea but I'm pretty much out 35 bucks and commando spent hours of work and paint. I hope there are no hard feelings bro.

Hmmm, I wonder if you could sand down the trim and repaint it?

The laptop still looks fairly amazing though, even with the discolored white, which you can probably fix with a can of spray. ?

I don't have my laptop anymore, but I still have the lid to my laptop that Commando painted. I like to rub up against it with my face from time to time, its so smooooth! :p

I'm going to be buying a new laptop here pretty soon though, unfortunately its the Verve. Fortunate in that its beautiful and at a great price, but its unfortunate too because it doesn't need any custom work done on it, since its already gorgeous.

Did a quick google. Its my guess that the clear coat turned the white into a whitish-yellowish color. Some people says it does, some say it doesn't, some say its the products that you use. I'd say just re-spray it, but leave out the clear coat on the trimming.
