Xenocrates Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey, I just painted my laptop 2 tone black and green. and I was wondering If any hak5 members have any suggestions on what I should paint on the front? I was thinking something fairly simple I could print out, E-acto it out tape it on and spray it (use it like a stencil). Oh, and BTW I plan on clearing over the whole thing after I paint it on anyways, I could rub it out and get a really really good finish. Any suggestions would be appreciated, and if you can upload a picture I can print out and use! Thanks in advance, Xenocrates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Xenocrates Hak.5 logo? that would be pretty kool... if you run linux a penguin would be cool... id go for the hak.5 logo with a lil penguin in the corner... or do you have a fav sports team...? or a band just think of something you like and find a logo for it...

Xenocrates Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Check out an early episode of Hak5 to see how they did it! I know I have seen it, I guess what I was trying to say is: What I should put on there other then the hak5 logo? Oh, and Flogging Molly FTW.

jack7h3r1pp3r Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 skulls and flames usually look pretty cool :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToChatWith Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Skulls/flames are the norm... how about that blue skull dude you get with a computer when you do a search for images on "hacker"? That would look pretty sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose67 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Look at an episode of systm where Dave Randolph paints a water droplet pattern on a laptop cover. I've done basic painting on auto's for years and finally took the opportunity a couple of years ago to paint my basic beige case a semi-gloss black then taped out a tribal flame pattern and painted that in a type of candy purple. Didn't turn out to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learnaseyego Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you are running linux it would be cool to have a windows logo inside of a "thank you for not smoking" type circle. Also, how about some before and after pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberttt Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 i made mine look like this: but then i figured wtf might as well go for broke right.. seeing as the 0.3 acer aspire webcam is junk i removed it and butchered the case. so now it looks like this: it lights up. this pic is before wetsanding i got more pics here i make signs for a living so i can make you a stencil if you want. i made a stencil of mine and cut it out with a dremel so the lcd backlight shows through. fun project that i dont recommend trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
