I like the notion of using body filler to fix the SE, but to give it "new look," I'd suggest sanding off ALL the texture and then spraying it, or better yet, powder coating it to give it that ProtoMac 
factor. I'd suggest black, so you can match it w/WinTel peripherals, or go whole hog and do the ProtoMacLookHack on SE era Mac Peripherals.
While you're at it, try to find an SE/30 MoBo upgrade and look into doing the "poor man's grayscale hack" to your existing CRT.
I've been saving a SCSI Slot-Loader CD Reader for "that perfect CompactMacHack" bit of inspiration to arrive . . .
. . . or just hack the sucker into my IIfx! [}

. . . but IIRC, there might already be a side loading CD hack in there now, just waiting for a side panel cutout . . . :
Dunno . . . but you're right to mull it over, patiently considering your options, instead of just jumping in there without a solid plan in place . . . but look who's talking . . . an idiot w/four major case mods in progress, in relays as the fancy strikes me, but with at least two active at any given time!
