OP OP R Ric0h Over and Above Person Messages 714 Oct 11, 2008 #3 But... won't sand paper make the plastic feel all nasty? (not smooth) The outside plastic of the alienware is very weak for it is just a cover, keep that in mind

Just make sure you rub vegetable oil on everything first so you get a smooth finish. Oh and post pics once you done!
