That's alot for a paint job, and the turn around time is even worse... I used all House of Kolor paints on mine, as well as clearcoat... We have a paint booth @ work, and total cost was about $10.00, and took me about 2 hours with "coaching" from our painter... I'm gonna do my PC next... It will be a blue, but not sure what shade as yet... I was thinking of doing purple "rips" on it too... Sure my lappy's not the best "job" out there, but when you even get good comments from airport security, it has to be decent.

I would recommend finding a local painter that would be willing to do the work, if possible... Not only would it be cheaper, but you would have less "down time" that way...

I like the theme I think It would have also been cool to make it look like rusting rivets holding it together.
