Just finished writing about a too-good-to-be-true story and while this here image would have you thinking the same thing, I can assure you that this is not the case. You can indeed pimp out your MacBook Air to look like the one in the image to the left, or even better, but it's gonna cost you. Oh, it's gonna cost you a lot!

About $500 in cash (no, actually I'm pretty sure you can pay by credit card too, but I just love saying "in cash"), but you also get to customize it too, which, sorry to break it to you like this, adds another 50 bucks to the deal. But hey, if you can afford buying an Air, you certainly can afford this service, say... two months after buying the laptop.

Guys over at Colorware must be pretty damn good at what they do charging this much for a paint job. Then again, this is no ordinary paint job either. We're talking MacBook Air here, the sexiest of the lot, not to mention expensive.

So, you have a total of 35 color options (as you can see in the upper-mentioned image - click to enlarge, by the way) and you can also customize parts of the laptop with more color combinations.

Of course, Apple didn't release the Air in silver for nothing. The ultra-slim notebook is aimed at a certain type of consumer population, which begs the question: how many Air users are likely to consider painting their newly-acquired machine?

Clicking through the colors available up on colorwarepc.com you too will notice that quite a few colors don't match the Air's design one bit. Like the one to the left for instance. Come on, who buys an Air to flash it around looking like this? It loses its grace and elegance, becoming nothing but a mere toy in the hands of a spoiled brat (I presume).

Do you own an Air? And if you do, would you have it done?
