A friend got his ibook painted with a multi-color marblized paint job, it was really cool. This was something I was able to find on the intertubes (no pics anymore, unless the pictures are all little square blue question marks :-): <http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-36358.html> "Here are some pics of my powerbook mod that i did. I painted my Apple 12" powerbook G4 a while back and posted it on some other sites but wanted to see what you guys thought of it! I took it completely apart, sanded it all down, primed it with "self-etching primer" from dupli- color, and painted it with carpaint from dupli-color.
