I'm not sure whether or not the original finish was off-white as most white paints tend to yellow slightly with age. In any case I used pure white radiator enamel partly because I happened to have a couple of cans in stock. Also radiator enamel provides a tough finish and is formulated to resist long term yellowing.
One thing that's difficult to replicate by spraying is the original slightly textured finish. Worth noting that the steel cases were made by Commodore's filing cabinet/office furniture manufacturing subsidiary so goodness knows what painting/coating process was used.
My monitor now has a glossy pure white finish but I don't think many casual observers would notice the slight shade/texture contrast between it and the base unit. With your PET the whole thing will be consistent (and smart!) anyway.
