Tim,
I think Eric is onto something here. If you are gonna paint it do it right. Be sure not to clean or sand the item to be preserved first and be sure to use a brush. Put on a minimum of two coats. Make sure you paint it outside on a hot sunny day directly in the sun. Don't try to wipe up runs, this will add to the value later on.
Make sure you also paint the knobs! Try to get a bit of paint splatter on the power cord so that future owners can tell it was painted as a presevative measure sometime along the way.
