If the paint job is beyond hope, you might as well try
to do a
restoration on it, rather than a preservation. One thing you might
consider, if you really want it to look like new, is to take the empty
case to an auto paint shop and have them give it a professional paint
job. A friend of mine did this with one of his old computers, and the
shop did a fantastic job for less than $100.00. Those guys know how to
match paint, patch dents and scratches, and all that.
Or take it to a place that will powder coat it, so they can also match the
texture.
