I painted my PowerBook

I have an Airport Base Station and a set of white Creature speakers that I think would look pretty sick with an paint job.
Thinking of the base station as a ship, the sub as some funky alien artifact and the satellites as aliens. I'd give you some examples but I'd rather not stifle your creativity.
Does that seem possible, and if so, how much would you want to do them all?

That's a fair price. How long do you think it would take to paint the Airport? I can live without speakers for a while, but the thought of losing my wireless connection...
Wow, that's really good. I would never have the guts to paint my Mac, although I do suck at drawing.
AWESOME!!!!
I would imagine it doesn't void any warrenty... right?
I just don't have the guys to do the same thing. Love the illustrated tree.

I first saw the title of this thread and thought to myself "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING TO YOUR MAC!?!?!" Then I saw the pictures and was in awe. It looks absolutely stunning.
thegord, you done well.
People here are hypercritical and will slag off anything they don't like, as well as worshipping Job's arsehole.
You've won them all over and gotten a fair few offers of more work. Congrats. You're seriously talented. I hope the website goes well, I'd love to see more people with good paintjobs on their laptops.
Scary stuff isn't my thing, but if I wasn't planning on selling my PB, and wasn't 5000 miles away in the UK, I'd deffo be wanting you to paint my PB (in a non-scary theme)

i could have it done probably about the same day as i get it (airport that is) and send it out in a day or so, we just got 2 ft of snow out here so might slow it down by a day, post office is far. the paint isnt that thick at all. for the airport i would just use acrylic to make it space worthy and functional. i have a pretty good idea for the big sub. space-age and metal looking for some sort of artifact.
