Do you have a compressor and spray gun? If not, you could go the route I chose, using a spray can.
Krylon makes a series called ColorMaster, that has an almond color that is a pretty good match. It is a hybrid that dries quickly. It covers well, and the satin finish is just what you want. Believe it or not, you can get a very professional looking spray job from these cans. Good nozzles for spray cans.
Hope this helps...

You can paint a computer almost any color you want, but the almond I suggested is so close to the A2000's "real" color, you would be amazed, It is a little lighter, but only a little. If you paint the metal case, and the plastic front bezel, you would have a truly nice looking computer.
