Custom nano paint jobs
Not happy with just black or white? Check out what Colorware is doing. Choose from twenty three different colors for your nano (I kind of like Midnight), or create your own clickwheel/body color combination. I can see how team or school colors might be kind of cool.Custom colored nanos start at $265US, and custom color combos start at $315US.

As a Cal fan, I would totally go for a blue and gold nano if the paint jobs didnt look like someone took nail polish to an iPod nano.

do you know if they do it for regular ipods? a carbon with a smoke clickwheel would be boss.

I would go for the cotton candy, and yes Jonahtan, there are companies that do it for regular iPods

Blaze is okay: http://www.colorwarepc.com/gallery/ipodnano/blaze.htm
But I'd prefer one in University of Texas burnt orange.

The finish on the iPods by Colorware PC are similar to a new car finish with a nice gloss. I have a carbon 3G and iPod Photo and it also seems to help prevent scratches for I've had the 3G for a couple years now and it barely has any scratches. I just ordered a Nano hoping that it will help with the scratch complaints that have been posted everywhere.

I've got a ColorWare paint job on my Mac mini and it's great. No issues with scratching at all. Sure it's not an iPod, but it did hold up on a 500 mile move w/o any apperant scratching. I think it helps protect it a lot more than the stock paint job.

jonathan hill: It looks like they'll color existing devices, so, yes:

Colorware does it for normal iPods. :P

Does anyone know about warranty/protection policies that Apples has for those who would use ColorWare PC services. Meaning, if I send my Powerbook in for a paint job, does that void my protection plan?
