nice but I think the G3 on the side ruins it. 

painting over the G3 would make it look a lot better IMO

That's one of the best I've seen. I think you should have two. One with the G3 and one without.

Yea, i added the G3 on the side, i think it does kinda look different with it on there but I wanted to be MORE creative than the rest. and I think it looks awesome lit up. But, I would have done the  Apple logo if I didnt have problems with the casing.. but yea, I actually like the way the it turned out!

I think the colors were good match! =D

Thanks for the responses guys!

i like the G3 on the side too...  i thought that was one of the cool things about the Smurf was the letters underneath the frosted panels. I took the frosted panels and feet from my smurf and put them on my sawtooth with the intention of putting G4 under there some where.  i would maybe go over the paint with a very high grit wet sandpaper. smooth out the obvious uneven spaycan strokes  confused it will really clean it up the look too.

after looking at it a few times its really growing on me  smile

what I like the best is how you didn't paint the top edge of the side panels.  gives a great look.

Yea, i agree on the paint strokes, lol, but its a friends G3, and it was just a quick project, mainly wanted to put neons in there but came up with the idea to paint the clear G3 on the side and have neons comingo ut of it.. but if it was my G3, i would have airbrushed it! =D
