Awesome....just awesome! That look's fantastic!

I don't think I would have the patience in trying something like this...

oooh no.. it was plain black with some grey flakes in it on the cover..
and the upper part of the keyboard was black.. and the lower part grey.
the bottom.. i didn't modify remained black

sorry i forgot to include that before ^_^

here is a picture i had before


edit: i included a picture showing the surfaces to be painted with primer on it.
edit:
added a link that looks like the same design.. but the MSI on the cover is not the same.. i have MEGABOOK written instead on mine which glowed white.. now it's glowing RED

LOL, good idea

Too bad I have just the one laptop
I would probably find some plastic, similar to the lid to practice on

thanks everyone

RaYYaN i practiced on a battery charger's cover first :P
sanding is the worst part

for disassembling and assembling.. i had 2 videos i found online

then the rest is quite easy.. if you get errors with spray paint.. wet sanding can solve it

Yeah, that's not a bad thought! Practice, makes perfect!

Thanks for the info

I am defiantly going to spray mine
But I am just waiting until the warranty is up, because spraying it will void the warranty and I'll wait just to be safe
Also, you sprayed the actual design on, as opposed to someone putting a sticker on a painted base right???

[eXeC-]

Yes. a friend of mine redrew the Manta Ray on a lot of masking tape already stuck on the cover. Then cut using an x-acto knife right on it.

The easy part was mine ^_^ spraying, then wet sanding it a bit as it got a little level higher than the surface.. makes it look even.

Cool

Your friend is good at art
I like drawing similar stuff (tribal art and the like) so I'll probably mask of flames or a design the same way your friend did, once I re-paint the whole thing, and sprayy those after
