[quote author=“Drachen”][quote author=“hshau”]I hope it doesn’t turn out like that Clie, because that kind of looks like a park bench/tar black, and not in a good way…

Ever seen it in person? That one wasn’t tar black or smooth at all. It was a lot like powder coat matte black except smoother. It still had a nice texture to it. I loved it. It was much nicer than the gloss plastic that covers every other piece of personal technology these days.

I think he meant the link I posted to the kid who painted his clie black, not the NX73 that was black from the factory.

Yeah, what you said.  :D
But I agree, the Clie that is stock black looks sleek…
I mean, if sturmy can do something like that on his TR2 as an end product, that would be quite :drool:

any news on this project?

i am sourcing for decals from the key board….currently….tough since no printer print white….so need to hunt around

silver?

There’s an article in the Maximum PC magazine (March 2005) on painting your desktop (on page 46). You might find something useful in there for your laptop as well i.e. if you already haven’t painted it

I remember having one of the first original gameboy’s in the UK. I bought it from the store with Tetris, played with it for a while and then after a week or so the guy from the shop said that they were probably not gonna sell very well (duh) and so I returned it to the store.

Er…not until after I had sprayed the whole thing black , so I guess someone out there in the UK got a surprise when they opened the box… 8)

did this project ever go through ?

well i guess not then..
