If this painting laptops becomes popular I want the concession for paint remover and WD40 to clean out the gummed up hard drives and fans

How about whatever color you want

BTW, be sure to sand and use a primer, and I'd probably use auto paint to make sure it's going to be sturdy -- add a clearcoat to it as well.

I assume he's going to remove the shell before painting it...

I have painted laptops in the past, but Im not sure what color to paint this one. I strip the laptop completely down to just the case. The motherboard and everything is taking out.

This has to rate right up there with some of the screwiest threads I've seen. How in the world do you expect anyone here to know your tastes? Frankly, I think the whole of painting the laptop is a bit daft.
