Is the case aluminium or steel?

For steel you can use car touch-up spray paint and a clear lacquer to get a high gloss finish.

If you want a really good finish you will need to use some very fine sand paper between coats. Also, you will need to prepare the surface before painting with sand paper and some kind of cleaner to remove any dirt or grease.

For painting aluminium you may need to get some special primer paint otherwise the paint will flake off.

Google for a spray painting guide for cars, the method is much the same.

Where I live you can buy car spray paint and lacquer in car accessory shops, the ones which sell polish and floor mats, etc. You can buy it online, as well.
