Painting a CAPCO globe and having it light up well will be hard. You can scratch it up with a scotchbrite pad but I'd clean it very well with lacquer thinner or something similiar. They sell adhesion paint to plastic promoters that I would use as well. Biggest problem is that it'll light up horribly after being painted unless you use special sign translucent paint. Normal paint will light up badly.
Painting metal body works well. Personally, I like polishing the aluminum bodies, looks sharp.
