I seem to remember a company way back (when the Mac Plus was considered
a power machine) that used to do custom faux finishes on Macs. The cool
one was the granite macintosh.
I think the company was also the first to make a fishtank out of a Mac

I have this weird idea that one day custom paint
jobs on
computers might
make me some extra money. Am I crazy? Do you think
there
would ever be a
market for it?
Absolutely! :-)
I'd certainly be interested in a Mac with a neat paint job. It would
have to be something interesting, though, after all, even I
cold do solid
colors. :-)
A while back MacAddict gave away some custom painted Power
Mac 5100's.
They weren't very intersting, though, just crazy designs.
