Does anyone of a service where you can either send them your inspirion parts and they paint it to a color for you or you buy pre-painted parts?

No, I have nevr heard of a company where they will actually paint your laptop. I have seen people that have painted theirs, but not a buisness. You may want to go around to some airbrush stores around you or bodys shops that do detailed work and see if you can work something out with them.

You can try smoothcreations.com. They do custom paint jobs and they have done the painting on the Alienware MALX and Superman Edition laptops.

Yeah Smooth Creations is the best. They are very talented!
I emailed them yesterday and they currently aren't doing any 3rd part orders. It sucks!

If your area has custom motorcycle shops you could ask who does their paintjobs....if you want something a bit more extreme. Otherwise if you want a nice automotive quality finish a Body shop would probably paint it up for you for a price.

That being said you could probably do a pretty decent job of painting in your garage with some rattle cans (I beleive most paint stores can mix them up in any color you want) and some masking material.

check that site out, also just try a google search you might run across something interesting.

I know this won't be of any help but I a couple of months ago there was an article in either pc mag or computer shopper about a company that paints dells. I don't remember the company, nor could I find the issue it was in. But there are people out there who do it.
