You can buy clear and smoked Plexiglass in 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch ( and
thicker) from just about any glass shop. This would be a pretty easy thing
to make....especially if you already have a template. If you don't want to
make it yourself then you could probably pay the glass shop to duplicate
your existing cover in <clear>.

I don't see why you couldn't spray paint the top and side housing of your
drive....just don't get any on the electronics, and you might want to use
an engine, or heat spray paint, if these drives run hot....by hot I mean
you can't keep your finger on them after they have run for a while.
However, you might be voiding the warranty by painting them..you would have
to ask the manufacture.
