My friend is crazy!

He just painted his xps m1530 and now he is selling it because there is a small white dot on the screen :S.

He painted the edges of his m1530. What do you think? Do you like the color? Do you hate it?

It looks fine to me...
Where's the dot?

 

To be honest it is a dot that can´t be noticed for "normal" humans! is just like a dead pixel!!!! .

 

Oh god, blue and gold...University of Michigan colors, pardon me while I go throw up...



Sorry, I'm from Ohio State. It can't be helped. That reminds of my friend, who has a Product (RED) M1530, which is a red lid with gray trim on the sides. It matches our school's colors, scarlet and gray, perfectly.

That's certainly not my choice of colors, but it looks like your friend did a good job with it. If he wants to sell it, tell him to try Michigan students.

 

Actually is more like green

 

I like it..it's different and that's what makes it cool!

I hope it sells quickly! I have the 1530..awesome!

Hmmm, I know someone who would really like these colors
“Azure Blue” and “Maize!!! A great schools colors!

I shall link this too him!

Hehehhe nice to see that some people like this .

 

It's cool..I woulda never thought to paint the sides like that...It makes it look different & unique.

How long did the process take your friend?

Also it appears to look really *even* from a closeup view!


Cin

 

Hmm. It looks really yellow from the pictures. Maybe get some more shots outdoors or in other lighting?

Oh god, don't tell me you're a Wolverine too!

 

I'd love to see more shots of this too...I really like the looks of this!
I really want to know how long the process to get that even final color!

(Yes, I'm Wolverine watch out..
Kidding...I've get a few friends whom are *diehards*...I like the school colors Green & White)!

Well I really have to ask my friend but I guess he used some kind of special car paints, he told me that the process took less than 3 days.

If you wish I can ask him for more info .

If you wish I can upload more pics too .

 

Colour=fail

looks like vomit

 

Sure, if you don't mind....less than 3 days is pretty good.

And, any work done on ones own lappy..I think is pretty cool.
Especially painting!
Whether one likes it or not, is personal choice

its a really good paint job in my opinion really good in fact...it should sell rather quickly it looks outta of the ordinary its that like...... a pearl lime green color it looks nice

 

That look great!!
I think all custom paint jobs are awesome, simply because the person had the guts to take his/her whole laptop apart.
I plan on doing a custom paintjob once my warranty is up.
Matte black with red or blue tribal/flames \m/

I would be interested in seeing more pics in better light

 

that looks amazing.

 

I don't think I'll ever paint a notebook... maybe a desktop, but not a notebook
Reasons: I'm a pad painter when it comes to being so particular and careful.
I've had a bad prior experience with painting things
I think paint jobs turn some people away if you're trying to sell a
painted notebook.

 

Seems odd to me to go through the work to paint it, and then sell quickly.

 

I dont think he is crazy because I can relate to him, I never paint any model that I build because I always see the tiny errors. And this is one of the reasons why I did not like art class.

 

Ain't that the truth - you can see every tiny little flaw as if it were a gaping hole in the fabric of space-time, and everyone else can't see a thing.

 

Looks nice to me. Compliment to your friend's cool job!

There should be a way to remove the dot.
Maybe even the standart display cleaner may solve it slowly?

Of course, don't use more aggressive solvent which is likely to damage the display.
