Yes, the old TiBooks were made of titanium and then they painted them that silver-like color. Flaking and scratching was an issue. I don't think the poor AirPort/WiFi reception was an issue related to the use of titanium, or was it, in part?
When NeXT was still making its cubes, they were magnesium with black paint covering them.
