If I'm remembering the iFixit videos right, slapping some color on these is the least of the issues regarding repairability, at least from a practical sense... Talking "0 out of 10" score. If you have a warranty or AC+ issue, the bud is flat out getting replaced. When it comes to Apple policy on modifications, maybe it's a deal-breaker right off the bat. Who knows.

This is something I’ve always wanted but could never justify the extra cost. Would love to win. However I just had my AirPods Pro replaced recently by Apple because of issues with scratchy noise feedback so it would suck if these had a problem too. Guess you’d still have the custom case. Kinda wondering if I should try to learn how to do this myself, you know, since I’m now jobless during a pandemic and have all the time in the world to practice on other objects and my old 1st Gen AirPods. Do they take them apart or do they just spend a lot of time masking everything carefully? I wonder what type of paint they use—automotive? Would probably need a small, pressurized application nozzle. Maybe if I got good at it I could sell colorized tech on the side to help pay for my mortgage.
I won the Luna Display giveaway from a couple of months back.
I won the Satechi wireless charger for airpods so I’m hoping to win this one. Lol
