Krylon Fusion spraypaint. Hands down the best stuff on the market.

krylon fusion is indeed fantastic, just wipe the case down with paint thinner then spray it on, no priming necesary and it looks very good. as long as you sand it with fine paper,

if you want to add a layer of protection, as well as make it glossy, spray 2 layers of primer, 3 of krylon fusion, and add 2-4 layers of clearcoat on top for protection. This works very well if you are painting an xbox or other console case.

I wonder if you could go to a car painting shop and see if they'll paint stuff for you.

I've heard that there are acids in sweat that are corrosive. So if the case is clear, painting the inside would be best, like on rc cars.
