Phase 1 - Mod the Shell
First you have to remove the shell from the laptop so you don't get any paint on the screen or on the internal components, being patient and removing the case completely will make the job a whole lot easier and the end result much cleaner. It's wise to test the spray paint on the underneath of your shell first, just a small section to make sure it doesn't warp or burn the plastic! Then while the shell dries print off and cut out your stencils, or simply buy them.
I printed and cut my own, it took about an hour or so.
A simple laptop mod using homemade templates and a few cans of spray paint!

Phase 2 - No Integrated Webcam? no problem..
Integrated a webcam into the screen. Ordered a webcam from Ebay, although the camera was for a different model I did manage to solder it directly onto a usb port. Checkout [2] for the images!
