Painting a Commodore 64 Case (Disgusting C64 Part 3)

It's time to paint that disgusting case that we weren't able to restore properly just with elbow grease and retrobrighting. Rather than trying to match the original breadbin case tones, I'm just picking a bright, loud color and going for it. I'll cover choice of paints, technique, and how it turned out, as well as the restoration of a few more odds and ends.
