I had no idea these were painted. Have always assumed it was colored plastic like in the C64s and Amigas.

- ryanmercer 6y agoIt was a surprise to me too, though I'm not a big Apple guy as my niche is more Atari computers Virtually all vintage computers in my experience are colored plastic and not painted, I wonder if there are any others in a gray/beige/white that were painted.
- jmull 6y agoIt looks like the Commodore PET 4000 series is painted metal. If I had to bet I'd say the ones with chiclet keyboards (2000 series, I guess) were metal as well, though that's based on my old memories, so that really means I don't know.
