So I decided that my everyday machine was too ordinary. I got this Toshiba Satellite at BestBuy last year for 469 bucks. I only took the time to take one photo while going through the process of painting it, but if anyone wants a complete tutorial on how I did it, lemme know and I will write one.

Took about 6 hours over two days to complete it, unfortunately I didnt have time to place the design on before I had to to leave, maybe that will be phase 2 later on.

I like it to bad you didn't have the time to get a mirorr finish on it. I would love to hear about the steps it took you.

Oh I did, its now got about 8 coats of clearcoat, polishing compound, some nice two step wax and I buffed it with my car buffer. But I will say on the hand area around the keyboard the waxjob doesnt last nearly as long as it should, its been about a month now and is getting time to need another application.

But the top you can still see your reflection in :D

The work in progress looks great. Do you have any pictures of everything put back together?
