Does anyone know of a site or place where i can get my ipod shuffle custom painted, as long as it still has the glossy finish?

Don't know about painting them, but stick on designs have been discussed and produced through here.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Do you think i could just go to any custom paint shop and ask them to do it and they would?

No. It wouldn't be worth their time to setup their sprayers for one small part. It would probably cost you $100+ because of the labor involved (if they were to do it correctly). Find another geek to do it, or do it yourself.

Go to any art store, get some vinyl stickers, cut them to size (templates for the iPod shuffle are easily available off the internet, just search), and you've got your own "skin".

If you want a skin that covers the whole shuffle, and is one colour all over, there are loads of rubber skin cases around. These are from a web store in the UK, but they are all widely available.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.
