Why paint it and possibly ruin the finish and/or the MacBook? Why not use one of
their skins? It's cheap and you can always change it back to the original should you decide to sell it later.

And there are a variety of other skin manufacturers as well. Gelskins.com has some great stuff!

If you do decide to paint it, the most important thing is prepping.
Taking the time to sandblast (if available) the case, AND putting down a solid primer will pay off for you.
Once you have it painted, look into finishes.

Best bet really is to tear it down and have the case "hot tanked" then paint it with a enamel paint. This way there is no priming needed.
Or even better go get the case powder coated.
