First I stripped down the entire case. Removing the DVD burner "quick connects" was a little tough, but I figured out a nice trick. Then I drilled out all the rivots. Taped up the pieces and steel wool all the surfaces to be painted. Then I hung them in the back yard. Each piece got a least three coats. Flat black and "Krylon Patriot Blue" for plastic. Should have used clear coat after that to help protect the surfaces, but I didn't. The next day, popped rivot back together with black rivots. Even painted the DVD burner and card reader.
