I just spray-bombed it in the garage... I didn't bother masking the
Apple logo, as I'm going to paint it silver eventually (the logo)... I
used Krylon Fusion paint which really gives a nice finish... I did it in
an antique white because it's going in the kitchen, but they do have a
light grey that could pass for Apple Platinum. All I did for masking was
to tape up the CRT and jam a folded bit of thin card in the floppy slot.
Other than that, just avoid spraying directly into the ventilation slots
and do lots of light coats...
