If you want to do a good job (so it looks good AND doesn't flake off all over the place) you'll need some elbow-grease, some sandpaper, primer and paint.

I'd suggest using some some "etch" primer as it will stick to the bare metal better than regular primer.
Ask the folks at your local paint store about which paint will go with it (and clearcoat too - if you are wanting to really bling it up)
If you can, drill out the rivets of the case and disassemble it - it'll make your job so much easier

More info here (thanks MNPCTech_guy
