Colorware Painting Results (pics)

I mailed my nano to Colorwarepc ( http://www.colorwarepc.com) to be painted. I got it back in the mail on Friday. The results are amazing - I am very impressed. They have lots of colors to choose from. It can be a single color ($64) or two-tone (body & wheel) ($84). The paint is very similar finish to a car. There is a clear coat that is applied that protects the screen as well. The scratches I previously had on the screen are no longer visible. I have been using my nano in pocket etc. and the paint is very durable - no scratches. The cost is really not that much when you add up the cost for cases and stickers/decals etc. The paint job they did is really amazing - I have looked over every small detail and I have not found a single flaw - it is perfect. I am so glad to be able to enjoy my nano without treating it like an egg shell - so afraid to scratch it etc.

Details: I mailed it FedEx Ground on 9/30, arrived @ Colorware 9/27, received e-mail confirmation of shipping on 10/11, arrived back to me on 10/14 via FedEx ground.

Jerry---

Overall, how happy are you with the job that ColorWare did? Based on all the factors, do you think that it is worth the money? Also, I've been told that the Apple Warranty is still valid with the paint job...do you agree with that? One last thing: did the company paint over the screen in clear for you, or was that an option that cost extra money? Thanks a lot for a great post, and for all the info!

My iPod had scratches before I had it painted. Obviously where the color paint was applied the scratches are gone. I also had some on the screen (actually that is where the worst ones were), the clear coat application that covers the entire iPod including the screen did make the existing scratches not visible anymore.

I have the carbon/ferrari. This makes it a nano U2 🙂

The quality is great. Looks like a special car paint.

It definitely worth it.
