    Plastikote is good, yes, if you do it properly. Can work out quite expensive tho, as you may need two or more cans (talking bout the little ones here :)). The only tip I can offer is, if you can avoid it, avoiding spraying outside...

    maybe you could just polish the metal and have a shiny steel case. or is that not likely to work?
