Roxanne's A Wish and A Dream does the repaints with the polka dots. She has about a 6 mo wait, last I checked. How long do you want to be without your machine? I agree, if your machine is in good cosmetic shape, I'd find a beater to repaint. I don't know if you've checked out prices but the polka dot one is $900 quoted and they range from 400 on up just for the paint job. Painted machines can cost $1000 or more off the shelf.
