HP 15 Flyer Red 15-f272wm

Hello there! I literally had no idea where this would have been appropriate to post, so if this isn't the right section for a topic like this, please forgive me.

 

(Before I continue, I am well aware that doing something like this will void the warranty. I think?)

 

Soooooooooooooo.... I needed a new laptop, and a found a guy selling one on LetGo for super cheap. (The model is HP 15 Flyer Red 15-f272wm). The laptop seems brand new, and everything is perfect. No scratches, no hardware/software issues, and at a fraction of what the original price was. However, the only downside to this, is that it's RED. Like, loud, in your face, red. Unfortunately, this is the one color I just cannot stand, at all. With all that said, I have 3 questions.

  1. Has anyone here ever done anything like recoloring electronic devices?
  2. Can I do this without disassembling the laptop? (I don't mind doing that, as I've done it before, it's just a huge pain)
  3. What kind of spray paint should I use?

The ideal situation would be to recolor it to a cobalt blue, and attempt to get a similar shine. If not, I'm alright with black. I thought I could just ignore the red and suck it up, but I really can't. This color has to go. :Crying:

 

Thoughts?

I know in some countries they are doing something like:

 

   https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/laptops

   https://www.skinit.com/device-skins/laptop-skins/hp

   https://www.cafepress.com.au/+laptop-skins

 

Please check your area/country. They can do the same for laptops, phones, tablets.

 

Regards.

I am in the same boat for another reason.  I have a handful of machines that are scratched and I would love to find a close matching spray paint to cover the scratches.
