Ive found vinyl (auto apholstery) spray paint sticks to ABS very well, it kinda vulcanizes into the surface 1/2 a mm or so, it wont chip off later like enamel will.
There was a guy around here recently that did a black/charcoal A600 mod and added new key decals...?
I did something like that in my A1200.
Did lots of mods in there, and painted it all black. Even the keyboard. After that i applied some inkjet water decals.
I was hoping it looked like crap, but the final results really pleased me, even more because i did it with no proper tools, and it took me weeks o hard work, just to mention the keyboard work.
You can see some (bad) pictures of it in the link bellow. These are the pages for the little meeting we have here in Brazil:

These are quite old photos (about one year old), and the machine now have a different configuration (Elbox FastATA MKII, BPPC with BVision, own made monitor switcher for the scandoubler/BVision, some fans).
In the moment it's disassembled, so i can touch up somethings, but i'm really proud of this baby :-D
By the way, the decals i've used are called SuperCal, and can be acquired from this website:
http://www.supercaldecals.com/If you, like me, is in a country that doesn't have a local dealer for this product, they will not send you the sealing spray. But you can do as i did, and buy only the refil sheets. I used nail varnish to seal the printing, before putting it in the water. Worked like a charm.
