Painting Macs (was: fake NeXT) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

14 Jul 1998

In the old days, I used to work for a company that made hard disk
subsystems for the mac. When Apple changed to the "Platinum" color
scheme, they sent out a paint sample with a pantone color #. Someone
MUST know what it is...

 Any idea how we might find the original paint color to 
 restore a faded Mac
 or other Apple product to new condition?

 My ex-girlfriend painted her Mac metalflake purple. She got   the paint from
  a model shop - it's the stuff they use for
painting plastic   models. I
  thought it would fuck everything up when she
spray-painted   the keyboard,
  but it didn't seem to do it any harm. Worked
fine, but it certainly
 challenged one's touch-typing skills...
