Laptop modding

Now almost everyone in the house has a computer. About 50% (I think I will not be mistaken if I divide the percentages this way, without the polls) of them are laptops, and the rest are stationary PCs. In order to give your computer friends a bright and individual look, you can skillfully decorate them do it yourself. This article will talk about possible options for decorating the surface of laptops.


The easiest option is to buy special sticker, which will appeal to you and perform simple operations with it. First, you need to prepare the surface of the laptop - wipe it with a damp cloth and degrease it. Then unpack the sticker and lower it in water for 1 minute. (at room temperature). After that, you need to remove it and slide the film from the paper base and transfer it to the surface of the laptop. Use a paper towel to expel moisture under the film, starting from the center to the edges. Then you need to wait until the decorative coating dries and put it in the oven at a temperature of 150-200 C for 15 minutes to burn the picture. A joke!)) Just let the coating dry (you can speed it up with a hairdryer). Now, almost finished decor, you need to cover with water-based varnish, and after that, if necessary, use any paints to give the image even more saturation and brightness.




You can also decorate an old laptop with old scarf. So, we are looking for an already unnecessary scarf with beautiful images. Then we cut them out and put them on the laptop cover to represent the future pattern. Now glue the fabric to the surface piece by piece. You can use any glue that works - for example, super glue. The decor is ready. You can still coat the fabric with varnish, but personally, I have not tried to do so.



And why, you ask, just do not paint the laptop regular spray paints? I agree, and so it is also possible. You just need to know a few key points so that your homemade acquired a decent appearance. First you need to disassemble the laptop completely and separate the parts that will be painted.Remember to also separate the logo from the cover, if there is one. Now you need to lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper to remove the factory varnish. After this, you need to apply the soil and wait for it to dry. Then, for greater effect, decorate the coating with marbled paint. Then it remains only to apply several layers of varnish and wait for it to dry. See that after you have assembled the laptop, you do not have a lot of "extra" parts)

Laptop decor options are many. Choosing any of them will make your computer friend, one might even say, a personality who will certainly stand out from the gray mass of ordinary “iron”.
