Well I just got done dying my G4 iBook 1.33 case plastics black and WOW I'm so impressed how much better black dyes then when I dyed my G3 iBook. It turned out so perfect and even and a dark rich black. It looks almost like a true blackbook, but only in a 12" 4x3 form.

I was doing this for Shont213 on this site so if he doesn't want it, I'm going to list it on ebay :D

I even dyed one of the battery covers too.

Oh I think it's gorgous. I'm using the keys from the 15" Titanium Powerbook ;)

Too bad it's just the shell and I don't have the working iBook anymore. Would be very nice to see it with the screen on and working.
 
12" blackbook.

Yes i will take them:D, but i have one question , is it possible that you could take a money order? if not thats fine i will have to set up a paypal account. that would be great! thanks once again....... oh almost forgot!! i need to know the final price including shipping i believe you said $50 but i just have to confirm.

all that and you post one picture. why not post more so we can see the detail and to see how the color looks,maybe in sunlight.

Sure, I'll take some more in a bit. I can tell you that the top cover is very shiny almost mirror like and attracts fingerprints like a mofo(kinda reminds me of a PSP). The black is very deep and even. I also tried dying the touchpad but didn't turned out dark enough, it's more of a greyish color. I don't know if I can seperate it from the censor underneath though.

The bottom isn't as shiny as the top as this was a used laptop. But no one will ever see the bottom :p

Here you can see that I left the little trim ring around the ports undyed. Looks better that way IMHO.
