Custom cases for Amiga 600

I can't seem to find many options for purchasing a custom Amiga 600 case. I'm looking for one in black.

Anyone has any pointers on where I could source one from?

I haven't seen an A600 case yet. It'd be nice to have. My A600 case is ill fitting and beaten up.

There are none. Only C64C, A500 and A1200 have been reproduced so far. Given the initial cost, I doubt someone will ever make new A600 cases. Too little demand to ever get the money back.

Nearest you can get it to buy the 3d printable A600 case files, and get one printed (or print yourself).

I hope you are aware that these are not new, but old cases. You could try spray-painting yours first before spending over 100 bucks.

You can probably find a car painting place near where you live and get it done without having to ship anything off.

You can buy 2K paint in aerosol cans now, but, by the time you buy plastic primer / adhesion promotor, basecoat, clearcoat, masks, etc., plus find a warm, dry, clean place to prep and paint, you might have made the right call to pay someone else.

...and hope that I would do all this correctly on my first try even though I've never done anything like this in my life before.

So yeah... I've got all the respect in the world for DIYers but this is just not for me.

Yes & it's all a matter of personal taste....

There just aren't many options for the A600, but like Nbdy said;
