I'll bet a motorcycle painter could do a good job on a notebook. Some of them do very detailed airbrush art on the 'cycle gas tank and other small surfaces.

I've got a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite and it has a bottom panel you can open to clean the main heatsink. That panel uses small Torx-head screws, you might need to search the stores to find the proper screwdriver bits. I've not...
