I don't paint I spray - with Krylon Fusion for Plastic. Came out pretty good but probably could use an extra coat.

I painted a cheapie Dell in deep red for my son, who's a Ferrari F1 fan (I'm a McLaren kind of dude). Disassembled the whole thing, and just carefully sprayed with regular cheap enamel. My scale auto modeling skills helped a bit to get a nice, even coat. I think it ended up looking pretty good.

Hey! I got the idea from you, when I used to lurk in this forum. :)
