I see an iMac and I want it painted black

Thanks to the folks at ColorWare, you can now order an iMac in virtually any color you want.

ColorWare has been colorizing a full spectrum of Apple products, PCs, peripherals and gaming consoles for a while now and from what I have seen, they do a great job. I’m even sending my own 20GB iPod in for carbonizing just for fun.

I had a chance to ask The ColorWare folks a few questions about their latest offering.

Q: What kind of coating is used?
A: It’s a hybrid between a manufacturing and automotive finish.

Q: Do you offer the option of custom designs, logos or patterns as well as
one-color covering?
A: We do not offer custom work at this time.

Q: Do you offer coloring services for pre-owned iMac G5s, like you do for
Powerbooks, iBooks and iPods? If so, what is the cost of the colorization
process?
A: We will be offering our services for used iMacs.  (note: they did not comment on when)

Q: What is the turnaround time on colorization service?
A: 8-10 business days

and finally…

Q: What has demand been like for the colored iMac G5?
A: It’s a great product and we expect great sales.

Thanks to Lars Rasmussen of ColorWare for taking the time.
