For the drives, get Krylon Fusion. It requires no prep work for plastic. Another good option is Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric Spray. Its meant for vinyl and fake leather, but it works well on drive covers.

Krylon is a great paint overall , drys fast too. Get the clear Krylon too to spray over your paint job after, itll make it shine real nice.

I painted the inside of my case white. I'm real pleased with the effect. I've tried differnt colored cathodes and the white really reflects the colors.
