"krylon fusion for plastics", should be available at any small hardware store. i think you need to get carded though.
oh, and don't forget to remove the metal cartridge plate.

Tape off the sides, use an exacto knife to trim little masking tape covers for the camera holes. Be careful of the slight bevel, but other than that I found it easier than other projects because there was only one side to paint on.
edit: whoa that was a necro. sorry, didn't look.
