I've got a PowerMac G3 Blue&White case that I've been using for a PCtoMac conversion mod.

I'm using this case just because I have it here. I like the newer ones better, ie the PowerMac G4 and the G4 Quicksilver, because I'm a sucker for glossy stuff.

Unfortunatly I can't afford to get a new case just for a mod just because I like shiney stuff, so I'm wondering if there's any way I can gloss up the side panels on the G3.

It's a translucent plastic material, and it's not perfectly smooth; there are tiny sandpaper-like imperfections all over it, that diffuse the light. There are also some light scratches accross it on the bottom of the panels.

Would I just get some clear gloss finish and run over it? Or should I sand it down first? I thinking to get rid of the scratches I have to sand it anyway, but would I have to sand the whole panel?
