When I painted my Amiga 3000's yellowed case, I used Krylon's "plastic" paint - a paint that supposedly bonds to plastic.  I didn't have the normal problems I'd use with standard spraypaint and it held to the plastic considerably better than normal paint too.


The Krylon "plastic paint" works very well, wipe case clean with alcohol before painting.

You can use an "Automotive type" paint if you use a fine steel wool on the surface of the case first, then a coat of primer, so the paint will bond.

I think it looks great as it is!

You can make some A-A key logos with some sign vinyl from a sign shop, an X-acto knife knife and a steady hand
