Right now I own an ASUS Z71V laptop. It's a fantastic laptop, but its gray on gray paint job leaves a lot to be desired in the style area. I've read the few how-to's I've found by googling, but I wanted to get some input from here.
The laptop casing is plastic, so I know I will need to start with a plastic primer. I've found plastic primers by Krylon and Rustoleum. I want to do a nice paintjob with this so don't bother recommending the Krylon Fusion line, plus the color selection for that line is very limited. I'm not sure about what color scheme I would like to do. One possible idea is to do a bronze-yellow for the base and have two black racing stripes, my inspiration coming from the leaked pics of the 07/08 Camaro being used in The Transformers movie. I am open to other ideas as well, cameleon paints also look like a posibility.
I was just curious to where would be a good place to pickup these paints? I don't want to spend a ton of money, so taking the laptop chassis to an automotive painter isn't something I'd like to do. Also if anyone knows of a really good how-to that I may not have seen can you please link me to that?
Thanks!
