It takes apple a whole hightech assembly line to build the Air Pods...
It takes an experienced artist (doesn't have to be a famous artist) a few hours to do the paint job... and it gets to cost more than the air pods.
Lots of people (like these guys trying to paint the airpods) are taking advantage of curious customers and apple fans to rob them blind. The allow themselves to be robbed knowingly just because they want cool stuffs that come with the apple logo.
Businesses like this will not last long.

Too steep but makes more sense to me than the "Space Grey" models which just looks like a simple spray coat.
There's long been a market for this. I remember working for a Mac reseller back in 1998 and we had a client who would pay a premium for custom painted iMacs. Many afternoons spend stripping down them down and spay painting all the Bondi blue bits a flat black.

Just one? Cheapskate!

Experienced artist? Maybe for the design. Once the pattern has been established, they can be knocked out repeatedly in a few minutes by any competent line worker.
Did you tell that to Mercedes-Benz, Harley-Davidson, Starbucks and Nike? They also sell overpriced products with a "brand premium".
