I was interested in painting the top part of a laptop I have. From the searching I've done Krylon Fusion is an option. I'm assuming the material that houses the LCD is plastic I need something that is glossy and goes on plastic well.

This is the laptop that will be painted, (Light gray parts only) I wanted to paint it a pearlized sky color.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for paint, and the best approach for doing this?
 
This place is for helpful replies you two.


As far as painting it is concerned. Do remove the cover you will be painting from the rest of the laptop. I'd suggest looking over some spray painting tutorials before you go about doing it.
 
I was searching and found that vinyl wrap might be a better choice. Easier and can be removed, what do you think?
 
Ever apply window tint before? It's the same relative procedure. If you're looking for a design on it, there are companies that make stickers for specific laptops. Might look into that if it interests you. I'm not a big fan of the custom wraps.
 
Go over to MNPCTECh and go to the wizdforums and look for some posts by HAL. He has painted a few laptops and have some pictures in his profile of the painting process, he will probably be able to give you and idea of what he did. Also, talk to Bill at MNPCTECH as he is an incredible painter and I am sure he will definitely be able to give you some good ideas.
