I am about to perform an upgrade to one PC here, starting with a Kingwin KT 424 case. But three pieces I'll move to that box are beige in color: FDD, CD-RW, and DVD-RW. I remain a bit wary of using a spray lacquer on plastic (Krylon), and also of getting any overspray anywhere it shouldn't go.

What kind of plastic do NEC, and TDK, and Plextor use on their drive faces? Wouldn't a paint already intended for plastic, such as those that model car hobbysists use, be less of a gamble to use?
