    I was thinking at a custom finish on my futur M860tu (eventually the will ship, someday... ) and I want something simple like that probably one color maybe white

    My question is : do they paint the whole back of the screen or can I have only the green painted and keep the metal texture ???

    I don't think xoticPC will paint it for you.

    ^^, It would have to be all painted. You can possibly take the design to a local vinyl graphic printer and see if they can print it and then cut it out??

    I got a logo advertising my company I made for my upcoming M860TU. But my plan was to order a custom generic 15" laptop skin from www.skinit.com

    Considered that spectrum?

    Actually skin are nice but they are nowhere near the quality of laptop design USA so I guess it will stay naked because I wanna keep the metal finish

    Thanks for answering so fast

    P.S. nirvana you can go directly through the company but I think it's a bit longer than through xoticpc since single customer are less interesting than company

    Lol no you said xoticpc won't do it for me so I answered that I can do it straight through the company + I've seen both skin and paint, i personnally prefer paint but it's just my opinion

    wait, xotic won't paint the picture? I though they do customized painting or does that apply to skinning only?

    they do paint, but I thought they only paint for those who purchased laptops from them.
