"How do I make my Macbook looks creeping used and old ?"

[TheBrazilianGuy]

Yes, I heard that question yesterday morning.

That's why there are days I wonder whether or not that show "The Office"
is inspired on my place.

After staring the guy for a second the only think it crossed my
mind was : well, get some old stickers and spread them on the case.

Anyway, I would like to see what you people think.

From what I understood he just wants to fake its appearance without
doing real damage.

What do you suggest ?

Lend it to the people at Lenovo for durability testing.

 

[Jasonbot]

Um, sandpaper+metal finish =OLD...

Or maybe some dirt, dents work. These are al permanent though

How about:

Fake scratches, can you get such things?
Dirt
Splotches of random stuff
And get some way to make the keys look worn.

 

[BigPrince]

Actually, not sure what his motive is here.

However, someone I work has had there power supply taken from there office 2 or 3 times. On the 3rd or 4th time he put duck dape around a brand new charger to make it look old, hasn't been taken yet.

 

[TheBrazilianGuy]

Ha ha !

I was on the phone with a friend and he suggested
to get that iSkin (or similar), drive on top of it a few times
and putting it back.

Is there an easy way to take some keys off ?

A friend of a friend has a MacBook, and the outer casing is absolutely trashed. He must really just toss it around -- literally in the dirt! Filthy scratches coating the entire surface. Here I am gently picking it up and setting it down, wiping so much as a fingerprint off every chance I get, haha...

Oh well, good to know they must be durable.

you could sand blast it!.. or glue gray hairs to it especially outside the vents like nose hair!

i want to print some stickers up to turn my MBP into a Rust book pro haha.. but there is no way to do it without making it look tacky

 

[phungy]

Find Windows stickers and place them on the MB

I actually saw some guy at a coffee shop with a 12" PB covered in stickers. I was this(!) close smacking him a pair and taking it from him. The brutality!

Speckproducts makes see-through shells for the MacBook, I'd get a clear one and put paint or stickers on that. You can have a funky looking Mac and then just take it off if you don't like it.

The other option is to skin your Mac. DecalGirl can make a custom skin for you, you submit a photo or request and they make a skin that you can put on your laptop. My PowerBook has a skin on it.
