If you want first class spray paint in the UK, you might look into Belton Molotow. If I remember, its a german manufacture, but its true artists color. Bout the best there is in the can world. I've sprayed with their colors in the past, and they're definitely pretty

I don't think this is right...

Whitlock, its good to see you in the forums!  Dying plastic is way cool, I used to do that when I was a kid and built R/C cars.  Its a great way to get custom parts that no one else has and they are durable.  Krylon is a good spray, but may I suggest you try the dying first.

I'm after durability over colour to be honest. I need something that isn't going to scratch, chip or stick to itself. Some heat resistance too. Dye does sound a good option. Is there any preparation necessary.

You're doing exactly what I've been pondering for a long while. A first gen MacBook is something around 700 bucks (for bare minimum) which is relatively cheap considering the re-sell value of Apple laptops that age. I wanted to buy one and dye it, backlight the keys (single SMT LED per key would work. I'd just need a MacBookAir keyset I'd imagine, but I digress..) max the RAM and HD, and wa-lah! Ultimate MacBook.
I ordered 15 boxes of RIT Black and 10 boxes of RIT Red from eBay, plus a shiny (2 year old) MacBook White (2.0Ghz Gen 1.5), 3GB DDR2 and a 200GB 7200RPM SATA drive today! If I end up dying it before you do, I'll post the pictures.

we need a killer guide for this, who wants to be the next interweb star? This is a hugely popular topic of interest for laptop modding with the new casings...

I am incredibly willing to take pictures/write a guide.

well, please do. Take PLENTY of pics and document it well. We'll post up a guide. Just email me when you get it ready.

I have a white MacBook, dyed mahogany... I have the pictures, too...

SIGH, yeah, I really need to get on that mod guide.
How are we doing the mod guides these days?
Text document with references to the photo names, or can I go ahead and send you an html document which you can open in FF, complete with loading images?

Sweet.. Mahogany sounds like it would be quite nice with the white keyboard/trackpad and white apple.

I've got all of the colors mapped to the areas I'm going to put them, plus I'm going to backlight the ports with red LEDs. I just ordered the SMT LEDs for the keys and the ports

I'm going to be testing all these theories on my iBG4 later today hopefully.
