    My gf has been bombarding me with demand to fix this tiny little "scratch" on the right corner of the laptop, where the silver rimm is, on her z70va. What would be the easiet way to paint over the scratch? I know this sounds dumb but she has been crying over it o_o. Help?

    LOL... any pictures?

    I suppose you could spray paint it...just make sure you cover up the surrounding area with tape so it won't spread.

    You can try one of them paint pens that you see at an auto shop like PepBoys. They've got some fine tips that'll dry pretty fast. I used one on my car not too long ago. :p

    Z70va has paint? I thought it was colored plastic or carbonfiber? Does w3v have paint to? Just bought it. Didn't come yet.

    Well the carbon fiber units are carbon fiber impregnated grey abs plastic...... then they are painted..... The palmrest and the bottom of your W3 is painted.. the lid is an anodized brushed aluminum.... there's really no taking that color off.
