Wo!  A gold A500!  That must be worth millions.  I've put a bid of $5,000.  I hope I get it.!

LOL.  I wonder if he even removed the insides before he sprayed it.  Looks like a one can job.

That metallic spraypaint isn't the easiest to get on smoothly, but yes, obviously they weren't using long, quick strokes as they were supposed to.

My only experience with using it on a computer:

Yup - plastic can be harder to cover with paint than most people think. The least this guy could have done was paint the entire case, not just the top. Man, what a ghetto job....

Two coats of spray can Vinyl dye, best product in the world for painting plastic. Case looks mint when finished and you can still see the texture of the plastic.

Bonds really well too :-)

That IS the way to go these days. A good job can be done with lacquer, if you know what you're doing. It also bonds quite well. The vinyl dye is much easier to use however.
