I took my spare battery and scraped the plastic with my trusty Swiss
Army Knife - it seems that the plastic is made that colour for our
Libs. :( This means ANY spray job would suffer from scratches at some
point. :(

I would remove the mouse cover, and I think taking everything out of the
case would be essential.
Neil, any tips on a bunch of non-experts in removing the insides of
their librettos for spray painting? I would guess you are THE expert on
libretto insides by now (except perhaps for David).

I'm sure they would come out if you remove the two square plastic screw
covers below the screen and undid the screws - then there's probably
about another six or so screws inside.

I'm going to test the inside of my spare battery. I can handle having
that a bizarre blotchy colour!

You'd be surprised. If you go to a good paint shop they'll mix up any
colour you want. Now, how about a nice metallic blue like that vauxhall
(opal) vectra car I used to have :)
