Default Laptop re-spray

Has anyone out there ever modded a laptop case.

I know you can't really do much with a laptop case. I brought a cheap laptop off ebay, good spec but the plastics were so tatty and discoloured, looked like it had been rolled around in mud so I decided to do the case up. Give it a custom paint job.

Now I have a slick laptop that changes colour that changes colour depending on how you look at it.

Yes I did, I am a paint sprayer with computers being like a side business/hobby, so I am able to combine the 2. Used 2 pack paint with a gravity fed spray gun at 50 psi and then textured it at 30 psi to give a 2 tone colour
