Ok! You are now ready to prepare the pieces you wish to paint.

Gently sand the surfaces of the parts you wish to paint as best you can. When you finish sanding take a wet paper towel to clean off the dust and then wipe dry. If you look at the picture of the base of my laptop you'll notice I have removed the rubber feet. It's not a good idea to paint over the rubber or stickers/labels. Dont worry, when youre finished you can use a small amount of super-glue to stick them back on. Any labels (such as thermal-foil labels) you do not wish to peal-off or pieces of metal (battery leads) should be taped over using your masking or painters' tape.
