This might sound a little funny, but the best way to do this is to use a little spray paint. If you do it right, it will look like it came that way. Just take off the little lip on the front of your CD drawer, and then you can usually pop the face off of it, slide it over the drawer and off, and then you can paint just those two pieces and not worry about getting paint on anything else. Those two pieces are all you ever see. It works good. Silver drives are hard to come by.

They sell a custom paint job service if you send in your drives, or you can buy them from there too.
I have also bought silver and black drives from www.buyxg.com in the past.

Yah I think they were the house brand drives, they work with everything I have put in them, paint isn't chipping, they aren't too loud, overall I'm pretty impressed with them.
