Krylon paints offer great coverage and they are priced right. Krylon has a small can called "Short Cuts". I just bought one at the local Meijer (like a Super Targer, Super Walmart) for $2.39.

Whatever you do, i would recomend using something spray, like PR recomended. I tried painting a floppy bezel with some model paint i had and it turned out horrible.

" . . and now, for something completely different!"
 I tried something not long ago that worked very well (and seems to be holding up). I just dyed the plastic with a permanent black marksalot. For the smaller nooks and crannies, I used a Sharpie. I was worried about getting overspray inside the mechanism. This way, I had no such problem.
