Best type of Paint…to be used on a laptop?

14Jan2008 Filed under: Used Cars Author: admin

Benjamin W asked:

I have a Inspiron 1501. I’ve gotten quite a bit of use from it, and it shows, unfortunately. I have used spray paints, and latex paints on my desk, and a case for my fiancee’s desktop, but they take awhile to fully, fully dry. I can still “thumbnail” those types of paint.

I am thinking car paint. The kind you hand brush on. I will probably get select replacement parts for its case and paint those.

Thoughts on this??

You shouldn’t use any type of paint of them.

I would think that Testor’s oil based paint for plastic models should work well. You can buy that at walmart, or Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or any local hobby store. They also make a spray paint with epoxy glue in it.

I would recommend NOT attempting top paint your laptop. To do a decent job, you would need to take it apart- and that alone is not a great idea.

The main reason, is if you ever want to sell it, no one will want to buy a “custom” painted laptop.

You know those areas that have wore off? Just think of how fast user applied paint will where off.
