Default Compaq lap'mod' "EvoWhite"
I Painted My Compaq Evo n800V White.
bottom screen part needs another layer, rest is all fine. (and sand the speakers to get the tiny white bits of paint off )
it took me 5 layers to get this result
it may not be perfect, but this is my 2nd 'mod/paint' lol
practise makes perfect

Hey man, thanks ^^.
Well, sorry.. no work log. did this in one single night. (sanding, primer, paint layers.) with the help of an industrial microwave/oven thingy@ my work. ( big-ass, even my crt would fit in) (for getting the paint dry more quickly.)
i may have some pics from 'before' tho... i'll look it up.
Oh and sorry for my bad english lol.

that looks really good!
I have some old compaq laptops sitting in my basement
yours looks like a cross between the two, so I'm assuming it came out between them.

So you sanded the entire case? Then primed, painted, and clear coated?
