im not sure if anyone has even though of this idea before. just make sure its a good paint and that it wont "melt" under high temps, that would be a disaster.

Get the hardest paint you can get (2 components would be the best but itīs hard to use b/c you have to be quick), also mix it with enough tinner (or what ever the base of the paint is compatible with) to create a smoother surface. I used 2 component paint in combinacion with an airsbrush "gun".

This isn't that hard too do. I did the inside of my case about a year ago with a nice blue color, almost neon blue. My case is black and my highlights are blue, so it maches well.
