Hey.

So I recommend using a specific thermal paste like this:

Thermal Paste  

And a Thermal Pad like this:

Thermal Pads 

I also recommend disassembling the laptop to remove the fans and clean them using a q-tip for better airflow.

Please re-paste carefully and use 75% alcohol wipes for wiping the old paste.

And when applying thermal pads add a strip to the following:

GPU MEMORY

M.2 DRIVE

PCH (SMALL CHIP WHICH CONTROLS THERMAL THROTTLING AND GETS HOT QUICK.)

Optional: RAM STICK MODULE, HDD.

For your laptop, that's a big No. Reason why is that liquid metal is what it is, liquid metal and its a very conductive substance that could kill your motherboard and/or your CPU if you apply it improperly. That stuff I Linked above was what I use for my computers and it literally looks like it and even has the thermal performance like it but its not liquid metal and its extremely cheap. So go on and get to repasting your laptop, it might need it sooner than later.
