I'm doing something to pimp my 3 years lappy...Compaq Presario V5000 Laptop..




The spray that I use..Black Metallic and Clear Finish


Carbon Fibre stickers and tools.





First let's start with the speaker grill. Compaq is so lame because my speaker grill already rusted a bit after 2 month use it and now it become like this..
That time I still don't have guts to disassemble the laptop...

Decided to spray it with the black metallic spray...Voila icon_rolleyes.gif


Next mod
the palm rest area become fade off a bit...Buy some carbon fibre pattern stickers at Brothers Automotive Shop. Cost me RM12... sweat.gif

My previous mod..the sticker colour fade off..1.5 years. doh.gif


Speaker Grill Attached to its place..


Measuring..Opened the laptop keyboard for more easier to cut and measuring...


Doing measuring for upper parts at on/off button

Clean cut this time..better than previous works..My cutting skills improved tongue.gif thumbup.gif
