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

14 Jul 1998

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.
