"Painting the past is back!" explains ColorWare. "If you love the vintage look of the original 1980's Mac then why not have it on your phone!

"Great attention to detail is given to this fully painted iPhone. With the multi-coloured Apple rainbow logo and the dark beige edge stripes, your iPhone will be a work of art!

Colorware revealed more about the customisation process to MacRumours:
