First of all, just want to say Hi to everyone.
I've never really done much case modding, but I've done stuff to some cars, and will be doing a case for a friend soon as well.
I have an old dell laptop, cpi model, 266mhz or fury or something to that affect.
I decided to paint it, and of course rather than be smart and do research for it, I dove into it.
I sanded it down a bit with some 150grit sandpaper, that may have been too rough..but I wanted the paint to be able to stick.
I used some Rustoleum paint for plastics, it said I didn't need a primer so I just sprayed it on.
I would like this to be durable, and not chip off..I would also like the paintjob to look better than it does now.
Its got a couple coats of spray paint on it and nothing else.
I was reading the paint thread and got some better ideas, but do any of you guys have ideas for laptop paint?
I'd almost like the paint to look like a car paint when I'm done.
Any suggestions for painting laptop plastic? or anything similar?
thanks guy, love the site too :D
