null_ Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Doesn't seem to have much of a point but you did a damn good job on it! If you did something like actual designs (dragons or tribal tattoo style, whatever) I could see people actually paying you to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 thanks guys (Y) i based it on this graphic sticker from blik http://www.whatisblik.com/Merchant2/mercha...uct_Code=AU-106 but couldnt afford to import it and decided to risk ?3 on a DIY attempt. I'm quite happy with it, i think i might to a version 2 soon though as its a bit too rough for my liking still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoneAvail Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wow, Looks really nice. What did you use to get to stick on? I want to try that out also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 in the UK its called sheet vinyl, im not sure if its called the same in the US. Its basically what signmakers use to stick on vans etc. http://business.search.ebay.com/vinyl_Prin...40QQsacatZ26238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterC Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 First of all, very nice job! It looks really good - it's safe to say I'm jealous! :p in the UK its called sheet vinyl, im not sure if its called the same in the US. Its basically what signmakers use to stick on vans etc. http://business.search.ebay.com/vinyl_Prin...40QQsacatZ26238 Is it sticky on the back? I think I've seen this stuff at Michael's (craft store in the states) before. Do you think this would work on the MacBook Pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It would look even better if it had the Green - Yellow - Orange - Red - Purple - Blue colours of a former Apple logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterC Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Zip, would you happen to know if it would leave any residue behind if I were to peel it off? It would look even better if it had the Green - Yellow - Orange - Red - Purple - Blue colours of a former Apple logo Now there's a cool idea!

Zip Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 it may leave the smallest amount but nothing that doesnt wipe off very easily. I has to reapply them a few times to get them perfectly straight and i'm intending to redo it in the future so i wouldnt worry about damaging your laptop ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was afraid to read - or watch - this topic but the result is truly amazing. If I were located in the UK, I'd let you do mine in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
