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.

They couldn't have been less conversational if they had used check boxes to answer your questions. This bothers me a bit. I take it all back if you edited their answers to keep it short.

if you'd like to hear more from Lars at Colorware, he did an interview on Your Mac Life this past Wednesday.

And, if you answer the trivia question correctly and your name is picked, you might just get that black iPod. :-)
