Alright great start!

Notes:
*** Depending on what you had in mind and the type of paint you may have at your disposal, the following steps may differ from what you require. ***

*** Use the same painting techniques you've mastered in the last step. ***

Tips:
*** Bright colors may require a primer with a lighter shade in order to make it more vibrant ***

The color I used to paint my laptop is called Italian Red (Duh). I ended up buying another two cans because I found some pieces needed 3-4 coats for what I had in mind.
