keisi Registered: 05/27/08 Posts: 1	Hey everyone this is my first post here on Macmod, and it is about my success at painting my MacBook Pro. I am really looking for some input on what you think or advice for any future projects, thanks for any input. Here are some pictures. The symbol is from the full metal alchemist anime, the philosophers stones transmutation circle "Scar's Tattoo" [attachment=0]<!-- ia0 -->DSC_1361 (2).jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment] [attachment=1]<!-- ia1 -->DSC_1487 (1).jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment]

Also, I dunno, I probably would have saved the apple logo somehow or worked it into the design somehow. Good work though. _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

oojacoboo Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 1468	AndrewJames, NabbyTom, watch it with the posts. I don't think its coincidence that you have a signature link attached with a 1 post rating. I know how SEO works. We'll let it slide this time. Don't do it anymore. _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

But i wouldn't have painted the apple logo on the back of the lcd in fact i would have got some plastic stain and stained the logo red keeping it see through. But nice job anyways.

Also, edfresh, I felt similarly about my MacBook for a long time. But, then, you don't hang around MacMod because you're anti mac modding, do you?
