Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3DPost production coloring (TD/WD, pWSF)
http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52510&th=10502#msg_52510
for my shop the most demanding need would be to have for my items some post production coloroing available (material detailed, polished WSF or FD).
Any other shop owner dealing with this question?
My practical constraints are:
- available color set (black, grey, silver, tan, olive)
- surface (glossy)
- coloring mechanism (most preferred sprayed)
- shipping (Shapeways ships to me as a shop owner, or to somebody who buys that. But how to deal with a post production office or a reseller)
(would like to have that in shapeways hand, but I also understand the constraints onm their side)
Anybody facing similar problems or has some solutions or practicable ways of woring in place?

You can dye the WSF yourself if none of the color options are available.
I have had success spray painting it too, but the results are better if it is dyed.
Some larger shop owners have all their models shipped to them first for coloring or post processing and then they ship onto their customers.
I hope that is helpful!

Unfortunately shipping to the shop owner breaks the great logistic service shapeway's offers for us shop owners. In that case the complete order, send chain has to be rebuilt what I definitly want to avoid.
