    Just wondering, how hard do you thinkk it would be to paint my gateway? I understand I would have to either disassemble it or cover it up, but i know a bunch of painters who would give me their special spray paint cover paper for when they're too lazy to move stuff. I was thinking a process sort of like this, but more creative in color. Or else do you think I should just buy a skin for it, or pay somebody else to do it for me?

    You should make a topic in this sub-forum (be sure to report your own post asking a mod to merge this topic into that one so you don't get penalized for cross posting).

    You WILL have to disassemble everything, removing all components... it's not as simple as covering and spraying, it will probably ruin your laptop.
