extremely...

So you're extremely bored, but you're too lazy to take it apart before you paint it?

I don't see why you would bother if you're not going to do a good job. The overspray is terrible. Just look at the ethernet port. If it looks that bad in 800x600 pictures, I'm sure you'll have to admit it looks like total hell in person.

At this point you're screwed because anything that can take off that much paint would melt the plastic.

Most of these laptops can be taken apart in about 5 - 10 minutes. It actually would've saved you time because you wouldn't have had to do any masking. It probably took you longer than that just to mask off the touchpad. I'm sure you spent more time uploading the pictures and posting about it than it would've taken you to do a good job.

Is this a joke? Does this laptop belong to someone you hate? I know I'd much rather have my laptop stolen outright than have the Clumsy Smurf special edition.

 
Since you like black , but you fcked up with blue, give it a vertical black fade or maybe addd some silver too, btw blue sucks what a waste of nice paint job.

Some Type R stickers will make it go faster.

:Q That would fvcking ROCK! 😀

Screw that. Go to wal-mart, get some a hubcap spinner, cut out a circle behind the flat panel, mount spinner in hole, PROFIT!

Now whenever you flip up the display, other people will think you're still moving!
 
well, if you're lazy, then nice job.
don't forget the protective layers, that might tone down the volume of the color a bit.

It'd make a fine background for a lot of stickers, though.

No, it just needs to have blood dripping from the Dell logo on the top of the case. Get that whole stigmata thing going. 🙂
 
Oh, just paint the damned thing matte black or chrome and be done with it. The blue, once sanded, will make a nice base coat.

Hmm...I wonder if you can coat a laptop with Rhinolining...
