It was originally a Plain Black Dell (BORING!), fine for a suit and tie guy! I dismantled the whole thing and re-painted it. I did some Dremel work on the cover and created a new case badge for it.

I used Rust-Oleum products on it: Plastic Primer, a 'Rust' effect kit (which looks more like Burlwood) and a clear/hard top coat. I also used a silver and red paint marker for the details and a red Sharpie to color the 'Latitude' letters.

I used GE Silicone 2 clear caulk to fill in the dragons, so not only is it guaranteed not to shrink, but it is mildew resistant too. I went with the non-shrinking properties.

I used a Chrome pipe cap for the case badge, onto which I Dremeled the Japanese character for dragon. I rough sanded it to give it a hammered/antique look.

Here is the 'worklog' - I'm not going into a lot of detail as it is pretty much self-explanatory.

I created a template on the computer, transferred it to card stock paper and cut it out with Xacto knife:
