So I'm still in the process of playing with my printrbot simple metal, and figuring out what its limits are. I'm still getting some bad prints with the ABS, but as long as I remember to clean the bed and re-apply the hairspray between prints, things are good.
Yesterday I made a couple of joke-badges for me and a co-worker. The design was fairly simple, but I also experimented with paining the prints, with what I consider a moderate success. There's still something to be said for fine tuning the finish (possibly smoothing with acetone), but it still looks pretty cool.

I also printed a couple of other test objects from Thingiverse, and this
AngularJS keychain by Kim Gressens. In lack of red filament, I painted the red part of the chain.
