Anyone with experience using this model would face the common paint job problem (especially the palmrest).
Therefore I decided to repaint the system, since it is getting old.

The E1505 originally looked like this:



Actually, the main reason for me doing this is because of the palmrest which is really ugly coz of the discoloration.



It's on the left hand side, most probably because of gaming
Anyway, soon after I took it apart and began sanding with a 400 sandpaper, and 800 after (to smoothen out)
The results were:



**edit: had to remove some photo due to the photo adding limit
By taking off the Dell emblem earlier, I have to seal the indent within the LCD lid.



I was thinking of using bondo, but ended up using epoxy instead, and it worked very well
After thinning the epoxy, it was priming time.



I used an anti-rust primer which I'm not sure will work at that moment
Anyway, all turned out well till the final layer of paint.





Just flat black though

Seems plain, any suggestion what to add on?

maybe blue or red stripes with tribal patterns? Or malaysian flag colours lol

Malaysian flag? too patriotic for me
Tribal patterns? Do show some examples

A black apple?



Anyway, i am considering a gaming theme to it. Whats the most epic game you can think of?

Crysis !

both are equally great games

but i am highly intrigued with Gears of War:



what do you guys think?

can be done i guess. Put up ur own custom patterns inspired by gears of war isn't a bad idea.

I'll just copy for now i guess
Maybe save the others for my M15x

Edit: i'll get things done within 2 days, and post them here ^^
