Default Painting My macbook?

I was thinking about it the other day. would the glossy PVC not hold paint? obviously if it did id have to mask it like a mad man to protect all the usb ports and etc.

If it can be painted im thinking black hmmm

Mod the Apple icon/logo on the top/back to make it into OCN flames broski. It'd be awesome.


Not sure on how well it'd hold the paint though. Maybe if you sanded it down... Oh wait that's plastic.


PVC doesn't hold paint too well (or so I've been told).
