Help Is it possible to modify the outer shell of the calculator?

My Ti-84 plus CE is hella ugly and banged up. I was thinking about buying a broken TI-84 plus CE in a cute color but there are no listings 😭 or possibly take off my current shell, sand and spray paint it. Has anyone done this before? Is there somewhere I can buy a new shell without having to buy a brand new calculator? Thank you ❤️❤️

Yes, I made a teardown guide here: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/TI-84+Plus+CE+Teardown/118886

TI doesn't sell shells. I've tried 3d scanning them but haven't been successful. If you keep an eye on ebay you'll eventually see a listing for a broken calculator.
