How picky are you? Be aware, it's a real PITA if you want to get it perfect. A few years ago, I tried to paint a trashed GVP A530 case... picked out several different colors which looked very close, and despite lots of time and patience, it looks mediocre. (The dust inclusions are real hard to avoid.) Basically, it's going to look "Krylon-ed" no matter what you do.

You may want to find a *good* professional painter who can color match and shoot it properly (a high quality auto paint like Glasurit or Spies-Heckler would look pretty amazing).
