Dependant upon the base of the paint, it most certainly will. I've had to
rework some less collectable machines and repainted them with paints that have
toluene, acetone and xylene base, satin finish, availabel at Walmarts as
"fashion satin" paints. Of course there's a certain touch to it to get a
decent finish and you have to ruff up the finish properly. I've had people
want black finish PS/2's and they are "looking good" especially with a black
keyboard and monitor and a charcoal grey mouse.
The other suggestons you have are kind of a thought too though, although I'm
not sure how easy it would be to cut a mold for a ceramic case <g>
