Case modding

[Magic Carpet]

My 15.6 laptop shows signs of wearing / scratches, etc.

Best way to make it look good, besides getting new casing?

I would attach a pic but can't find my camera at the moment.

Thanks.

pull all the exterior panels off, clean them, prep for paint, then paint

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just about any paint would work?

You should be able to find plastic-etching paint in auto supply stores... Bumper paint would work well too, it has a bit of extra flex-agent in it so when you twist the lid slightly there will be less chance of any cracking or seperation.

Definitely go to an auto-supply store (auto paint supply is better) and ask what the BEST paint for plastic is. Then you can decide color!

Make sure to primer before you paint! Plastic-etching primer too!

Cheers GoStumpy,
