    i think that design would be very cool if the scratch mark areas are actaully see through, that way the original color of your laptop comes through and blends with the rest of the laptop to really make it look like it was painted on.

    Are you proficient with adobe illustrator or photoshop? If so you could consider using this place: Here for Schtickers. Even if you aren't good at graphics you can just upload an image you like. Perhaps that page could help you :D .

    The cheapest method that I settled for was DecalGirl Standard size. I then cut it to shape and used the excess for skinning my phone, be careful with centered designs and make sure to cut equal parts off each side until it fits. Some designs may be cut off if it runs to the very edge so keep that in mind when ordering.

    I'll probabaly have them do the custom cutting, I talked to them this morning and they won't send me the File to alter. so now I need to find the image file somewhere, or find something similiar. Or find one that has the same sortof look that i can alter.
