Pimp my laptop

Posted: June 29th, 2005 | Author: jadearama | 5 Comments »

So I got tired of the old grey look of my Toshiba laptop and I decided to give it a bit of a revamp. This is what it looks like now.

This is basically done by applying a skin (which doesn’t necessarily have to be red) to the surfaces of the laptop. It takes a little bit of time to apply, but it looks great.

I have a few red kits for doing this, including the vinyl, instructions and an applicator, if you want to own something unique and I want to see if there’s any interest in them. So if you want something customized, let me know.

    Gold pinstripe! That’s a great idea!

    Bernie, it’ll certainly cover up the scratches. I think it will wear pretty well too. The vinyl has a nominal life of a couple of years of outdoor use.

    I didn’t know about your post, but great minds think alike!

    I’ve had my Dell Inspiron 6000 painted by a canal boat artist. See http://digbig.com/4ehng
