Funny looking top on CF-51's...

#1 Post by Rob »

So I bought two CF-51's and they don't seem to have the standard magnesium alloy tops on them... pics are below. What do you guys think?

w00t!

After looking at it VERY closely I can see that it has simply been re-painted... Looks good though!!

That is the silver "hammered look" paint that Krylon makes. I have used the black (really dark gray) and they do turn out very nice. They make for a sharp looking two-tone effect. I used it on a CF-28 and left the Toughbook logo silver. Combined with the black rubber corners it does look sharp!

One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...
