Whole laptop change color

i had other posts with changing the bezel color. and then trying to find a company local that would do powder coat but that was a bust so i went back to vinyl and did the rest of the laptop. this is rough as i was testing out different techniques and learning the areas that would be a problem and how to fix it next time. I also want folks to know if they do the same and metallic vinyl is used that you need to check how the light affects what the vinyl looks like as with mine was only noticed after complete that i did not place in same orientation so there was slight difference in the look depending on the light location. this was cheap and looks great for the majority of the surface and a few places that will need to be redone in a different way. let me know if you will try this too :slight_smile: .

Do you have SVGs/DXF files that you can share?

I didn’t use any files. It was by hand from single color metallic vinyl. Unless i am not getting your question.

Ahhh, I thought you used a vinyl cutter

Nope. And due to how large a surface needed to be covered i would worry any cuts before sticking the vinyl would be hard to align and give worse results. Things like the trackpad being smaller was easier to align.
