Buddy of mine has a case,mouse, keyboard and monitor all painted red (took the keyboard apart to clean it and the keys are still white.) Looks kinda cool. The finish you get is much like the prep you would do to a car or any other metal surface. Not much you can do to plastic except clean it well and remove any slag that might be showing. A couple coats of clear would add some awesome depth.

Just had another idea for an aluminum case mod. Take the case parts to an anodizing shop and have them made any color they have for anodizing. I did that with gold wheels on a race car years ago.
