Custom Alienware M17x R4 - Metallic Blue


Maxware79

Recommended Posts

Started working on refurbishing an old Alienware M17x R4. Here is the progress on the LCD lid. These are covered with a soft-touch material which breaks down over the years and usually gets heavily scratched. This soft-touch needs to be completely removed before respraying. Then it's sanding, priming, sanding, base color, sanding, clear coat, sanding, polishing.
