To Retrobright or not to..

You all are gluttons for punishment. All you need to do is try the "paint" I pointed out - or at the very least use semi-gloss or flat clear (Different makes look different as far as the "gloss" is concerned)
I restore Antiques for a living, and in that work I have been spraying finishes for over 30 years. (I also put trick paint jobs on motorcycles and cars - about 30 years worth)
But, if you all would rather play with "retro-brite", knock yourselves out.

I agree with you BUT you must admit that it takes alot more skill & patience to pull off a great paint job then to slap on some gunk & let it rest in sunlight for a day

The majority of us guys can tell from a block away if a computer we know so well was painted in any way especially when light reflects off of it so i can understand the hesitation to paint on both counts

I would bet you, you can't tell the painted computer. Also, it's not that hard to get a good paint job with these new, modern spray cans. They do an amazing job.
They even make "spray cans" that you can re-fill the "paint". This means you have the same flexibility as using a spraygun (mixing your own colors).

well why don't you post a hi res pic of a mint original and a painted miggy to convince us
