k this is regarding a dell inspiron 1526 laptop... wat would i have to do to paint it? the lid has an odd finish thats not exactly smooth like normal glossy laptops... and wat about the keys? can i get custom ones or would i have to do it all myself? the touchpad should be fine im told because they tend to work fine if u paint em over... basically the entire thing has an odd texture and there are many little holes near the lid that i dont wanna block... am i better off just leavin it its crappy lookin self?

I've seen people paint lappy's, but unless you really know what you're doing (and use a good bit of masking tape), you can cause problems quick. the key's you'll have to manually paint by brush, but no telling how you'd read the letters. You're better leaving those black. But the top, inside plastic, and bottom should be good to paint if you mask off the air ducts and such...at which point you get lines where you masked. Sometimes you can fix that by hand brush, sometimes you can't. I like duplicolor or Dupont.
