    does anyone have pictures of a G50vt with a custom paint job, with krylon fusion or something similar?

    I like this computer but it is just too ugly.
    also would the lights on the back shine through a few coats of flat black krylon fusion?

    You say G50Vt, but theirs several models X1 is silver with a black lid and blue design... not half bad. The X6 and some other models are Black and orange... would go fot it.

    The X5 however is in a league of fugliness and id assume that's the one your speaking off. Outside of the design on the back the oranges brownish colors on the rest of it just dont play well to most.

    yeah you got it, I'm talking about the x5. But pics of any g50vt that has been painted will do. I assume that they all have the same shape and contours on the lid (and those stupid lights). just want to get a reference cause i will probably be picking one up from best buy but I don't think I can deal with the ugly.

    just did mine.
    it looks good but i need to put on a clear coat.
    oh and krylon scratches real easy; like with a paper towel. UGH...
    any suggestions for scratch proofing.
