Ask HN: How To Paint a MacBook Pro?

3 pointsby matthall28almost 17 years ago
I've got a 15 inch MacBook Pro and i want to put the logo of one of my websites(ExplodingWumpus.com) on the back cover. I know that getting it laser engraved is the best option but i live in Calgary, AB Canada and everywhere i've talked to that has a laser engraver is either not interested or wants way too much money. So the next option i've looked at is painting it. I was just wondering how you guys would recommend doing it and with what? Making a stencil and then using aluminum spray paint?

Did you try looking at companies that'll laser-cut vinyl decals for a reasonable price? Those look pretty shnazzy. I think most companies are a google search away. If anything, I can ask a friend who had a few cut before for more info.

Just remembered this German startup: <a href="http://designskins.com/" rel="nofollow">http://designskins.com/</a> -- never tried it but apparently, upload your design and they send you the Laptop-sized sticky foil that apparently can be gotten rid of just as easily.

Print off some stickers and just stick it on to your mac. Resale value intact. That or try engraveyourtech.com and <a href="http://www.etchamac.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.etchamac.com/</a>
