Very cool!

Curious, what´s that "carpet" you have on your table? Is that some kind of friction thingy?

[AirbrushTricks]

@SolidMnd It's just shelf liner. You can get it at WalMart. Look in the kitchen section. People put it in their silverware drawers and stuff.

Either your a dwarf.

Or that's a huge ass roll of tape.

[AirbrushTricks]

@adamXatomic Well done my friend, well done....LOL

I want to paint my laptop but i want to know what kind of paint i should use. Just normal spray paint? i want to get it to have a smooth kind of shiny finish like laptops you buy have. What kind of paint and prep would give me this result?

[Viol3ntSolution]

Man you have some cool tricks...thanks for sharing them, it helps alot. Do you have any tricks for biomechanical? That would be an interesting video.

God created true fire. That sawed off little arrogant prick at Killer Paint, Mike Lavallee says he did. I can't stand that fucking bastard. If you are considering having him do work for you, don't.

I like the effect Tony but being a person that does laptop service as part of my living I would have done the palmrest differently. The touchpad will come off the palmrest from underneath making for an easier taping job and no possible damage to the touchpad surface. Also when taping the display area where the bezel came off be very careful with a knife (or even when removing the tape) of the tiny wiring in there. A little tape on the LEDs is a good idea too. I love the end product though

@adamXatomic It's called transfer tape, used for doing vinyl graphics. Low tack and perfect for paint masking jobs. You can get all sorts of widths of it but the wider it is the harder it is to get off the roll without a dispenser (like one of those old butcher paper racks from the era when we had real butcher shops)

Simple yet that was some cool ass effect...love your vids

I didn't see a grounding wire used on this laptop project. Wouldn't a static electric build up from spraying harm the mobo? I still like your airbrush videos since they do contain good techniques.

Neat idea, but you notice he did it to an ACER,.. the WORST computer company on the face of the planet
