Al. PBook G4 17" Mod Plan: WaterBooK

[Reigner]

I'm using a PB G4 1.67 GHz running OS X 10.3.9 and Kubuntu Linux 8.04. Because I love water so much, I'm planning on making an aqua-themed PowerBook, making whatever I could blue/aqua. That goes to installing Kubuntu Linux, Unsanity's Shapeshifter, ClearDock, some icons, and my handmade wallpapers. All I need to do is paint the casing some shade of blue and decal it with a large K.

My grandfather's house has some spray paint. But I'm not sure if I should use it on metal. Any of ya'll have any ideas?

I would just buy a blue speckon case for it. You would not want to use spray paint. It you wanted to paint it you would have to air brush or powder coat.

Where could I find such cases?

I'm sure you can find some local shop that powdercoats rims to powdercoat your PB casing any color you want or a house color for less then $100. Would be much better the spray painting it.

If you wanted to go fully custom, you could cut out the aluminum around the Apple into the shape of a "K", buy some clear/frosted acrylic to fit in that "K" to make the "K" backlit instead of an Apple.
