Default Really random paint question...

Alright, so I was digging around in my closet and found this little gem:



A few years ago, I got really bored and as a joke, started ricing out my CD player to the max (fiberglass bodykit, rice blue LED's, krylon spraypaint, 9v battery + switch as NAAWWZZ -- basically as rice as I could make it ).

Well...got thinking then started shaving off everything to make it look super smooth.



I need some suggestions on what color to spray it .

I'm planning to sand it down to bare plastic, take it apart, primer it, then paint it with a few shots of base/clear haha. With a bit of wax it'll shine right up . Then maybe some amber LED's inside to light up the LCD/CD bay...plexiglass window?!

Anyways, I'm looking at spraying it Midori Green on the top/some sort of gloss pearl black on the bottom. Any color suggestions? haha Thanks.

--> Oh yeah, and that long line across one side is when someone keyed up my CD player .

Sadly, that's kind of how I found it a few years ago -- on the street with a cracked lid. lol.

And I need something to kill the time .
