    This is the Dainese logo which is very cool. Anybody familiar with Uk based companies/ arists who would could do a liquid mercury 3D design of this logo against a black background. If not then a US company or in fact anybody ....

    Youtube videos were added to give an idea of what I mean. The design I'm looking for would be a static laptop skin/ painted

    Automotive paint does well for a metallic look.
    Tried it on a few of my old mobiles, painted well it looks nice.
    As for a chromish look thats more expensive but if u can fork out the money for it i believe it can be done =)

    I'm sure the automotive paint in the hands of an artist would do well. Unfortunately I'm no artist and despite the many people on here uploading photos of their skins, nobody has recommended a UK or US based artists who can do custom jobs like this?
