First up - I do not see any need to paint these. If anyone asks us about the markings when they see our Pyras, we simply need to respond that those markings are natural in unpainted plastic. By not covering them up with structurally unnecessary paint we're helping the environment just a little tiny bit. Anyone who is -that- concerned about it could always buy a can of spray paint from their local hardware store mixed to the correct Pantone and paint it. (Disassembly required)



I'm not sure why I don't care for the blue cases. I like blue cars. Just something about a blue computing device makes it seem somehow 'wrong'.



The "red" cases in the video are brown - which is definitely not the effect we were wanting for a 'dark red'. But then, I think ED is fully aware of that.



The black ones look great! If you were going to pick one of the colors to, "paint to perfection", this would probably be it. If someone is that concerned about the plastic flow markings, they could simply get the painted black. Maybe for a $10 per case up-charge for painted vs not? The paint and handling for painted cases isn't going to be free after all.



The grey - we didn't get a very long view of those in the video. Was that the same grey with sparkles blend as we had in the earlier non-vented batch that I called "Granite Grey"? I really like the granite grey - far more than I thought I would. Are the granite grey cases missing any structural changes other than the vent holes?



Looking forward to the next few weeks on this!
