    For $450, Colorware will sell you a custom-painted PS3 Slim. And with the proper color scheme, the upgrade is almost tempting. [Colorware via ChipChick]

    Matte Black MacBook Pro Looks Like a Deadly Stealth Ship

    This $6000 Colorware MacBook Pro isn't just impressive because of its price, it's impressive because it looks like what a real matte black MacBook Pro from Apple would look like. More »

    Colorware Adds Visual Spice to iPods, Better Scratch Protection For iPod Touch

    We've covered Colorware's professional gadget painting in the past—and were more than satisfied after seeing their work close up, but their latest iPod coloring seems to be more than just cosmetic. The iPod Touch 2G color-coats the shiny silver metallic back with a color layer, which most likely handles fingerprints and scratches better than the original surface. They also paint iPod Nano 4G and iPod Classic as well as iPhone 3G, so you've got options on those devices as well. The process is not all that cheap ($125 to send yours in), but it's definitely worth it considering that they do a great job and you'll be using these gadgets for years. [Colorware]

    iPhone 3G Now in Multiple (Unofficial) Colors

    If there's a gadget that can use a new coat of paint, Colorware is almost always on the scene first (with pretty good results). But if there's ever been a gadget just begging for color, it's the iPhone 3G and its glossy, plastic back. For $150, Colorware will give you that burst of backside color you've always wanted, and for $20 more, you can customize the button and frame. As for the matte around the screen, that can come in any color, too, as long as it's black. [colorware]

    Colorware's Matte Black iPhone Fools Friends, Bloggers

    It's not the 3G iPhone, but Colorware's Stealth iPhone trades in the silver trim and brushed metal back for an entirely matte black motif. It's also extraordinarily expensive, weighing in at $675 and $775 to the stock model's $399 and $499. Colorware does throw in a matte black iPhone dock and pair of earbuds, but even that probably doesn't justify the increased cost. Then again, some people really love black. [Colorware]

    Colorware Brings Its Fine Rainbow Craft to the Nintendo DS

    If anyone knows people go apeshit for new color combos, it's Nintendo. Slowing hardware sales? Some fresh hues perk 'em right up. Well, Colorware isn't content to let Nintendo keep all the fanboy action to itself, so they're bringing their paint-y crafts to the DS. Just do us a favor and don't hit brainstorm before you click buy. We saw some truly hideous stuff. [Colorware]

    BlackBerry Curve, Pearl and 8800 Get the Colorware Treatment

    Colorware, the company that spruces up iPods, iMacs, iPhones, Zunes and Xbox 360s are coming back with a series of new items starting with BlackBerries on New Year's Eve. If you don't already have a BlackBerry Curve, Pearl or 8800 series, you can pick one up pre-colored directly from them. If you already do have one, you can send your current phone in for colorization. Then again, if you do have a BB, you're probably some kind of corporate "business dude" that might not want their phones accessorized in this way. You be the judge.

    Colorware Paints iMac, iPod touch, iPod nano, and iPod classic

    Continuing their trend of painting up gadgets you love, Colorware has extended their painting expertise to the iPod touch/nano/cassic as well as the iMac, ensuring your drapes always match the carpet. And if you want to see close-up shots to illustrate why their work warrants a somewhat premium price and is better than a crappy do-it-yourself job, take a look at our Colorware Xbox 360 gallery. Although spray painting in your garage with the windows closed does have its perks. [Colorware]

    Colorware Colors Up iPhones in Style

    Want your iPhone in a color other than silver? Apple can't help, but Colorware's got you covered. You saw what a good job they did on on Xbox 360, so there's no reason to think their quality will be anything but spectacular for the iPhone. You can send in your existing iPhone and have them color it up for $149, or buy a pre-colored 4GB for $649 and a 8GB for $749. Not a bad deal if you really want to get an even bigger head start on differentiating yourself from other cellphone users. But if you're being cheap, you can always get a $48 back replacement.

    Colorware Extends Paintjobs to Zunes

    Now that you saw what a great job colorware did on Xbox 360s, you'll be glad to know they now color Microsoft Zunes as well. You can either ship them your Zune and have them color it up for $74, or buy an entirely new one for $325. More »

    Hands-On Gallery: Colorware Makes Xbox 360 Elites Obsolete

    If you're one of the few who wanted an Xbox 360 Elite more for the color than for the HDMI or the 120GB hard drive, then you're in luck. For around $99, you can get your own black (or blue or green or red or orange or whatever color you want) Xbox 360 that, in our opinion, looks even better than Microsoft's matte paint job. More »

    Pimp Your MacBook, If You Dare

    I've just been informed that, yes, people still "pimp" things out, no matter how silly the term seems. Uncrate put together a list of 10 items that will make your MacBook, um, really pimp, I guess. There's the usual assortment of software, like Windows XP, which may or may not have more street cred than Mac OS X, and Parallels Desktop, the VMware-like software that lets you run Windows alongside Mac OS X; the ubiquitous RAM upgrade; various carrying bags and cases also populate the list.

    iPod nano in Any Color You Want

    I'm sure you're all sick of iPod nano this and iPod nano that by now, but we figured this looked cool enough that it merited us talking about it. Colorware, as you all may remember, is that company that custom colors all your favorite Apple products, along with other things like game consoles. Well now they're going for the iPod nano too. Want your nano in Ferrari red? No problem. Cotton Candy pink? Sure. A mixture of both? They'll do it. Buying a new nano from 'em will cost you $265 for the 2GB and $315 for the 4GB, and sending your own nano for color work will most likely be around $65. Kinda pricey, but it'll definitely stand out from the crowd. More »
