#458480 - 03/05/05 11:49 PM Color Film for PB 12" [Re: storebrand]
amkrisis Registered: 03/06/05 Posts: 3	Yes, i have the dreaded black dots on my pb due to the acids from my sweat etc ... So i was looking for some sort of protection, and i heard that a film is pretty effective. I was thinking of changing the color while i'm at it. So for i found PowerDesign who make the Body Masks, are they any good? What are other good alternative (companys/products) Painting is not an option because i don't want to loose my waranty ... Does someone have a picture of a black powerbook g4? so i could see what it would look like etc ... thanks in advance! Cheers Benny

It is a slightly darker grey than the titanium and actually looks quite nice. As far as the painting is concerned, I am pretty sure that doesn't void your warranty. Also, I can't say that I have seen a black powerbook, but I would love to. If you proceed with the mod be sure to take plenty of pics and document your work so that others can see. _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

I will keep my eyes open though for sure. They were soo cool looking. Anyway, I found this polish as well. It is suppose to help alleviate the problem. http://www.flitz-polish.com/ I am told that it doesn't completely repair the look, but it does a pretty good job. :huh: _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."
