i want to make my G3 B&W case shiny like a g4. how should i do it. I think that i should use very fine grit sand paper to san of the opacity of the sides and handles and spray it down with transparent gloss paint

The G4 sawtooth panels can be swapped onto a smurf, not as much fun but it would work. The smurf plastics are a semi opaque plastic while the sawtooth used a clear acrylic with the inside painted to achieve its look.
Mordasky's right. Unfortunately. The plastics on the B&W are a different composition of plastic than the latter G4's which were a clear polycarbonate.
Now, if you wanna shine those plastics as much as possible (which may not be much) go after them with a 1500 and a 2000 grit sand paper. then, if you have the ability, a buffer and some turtle wax brand rubbing and/or polishing compound. All can be found at the local auto parts store, should you decide to go after it

yes, very fine sandpaper and some sort of polish will work. this is the same thing many do to take scratches out of ipods and/or to make them more shiny.
