Easier in terms of less physical exertion/elbow grease for scrubbing, but harder in terms of greater technicality and it can be more time consuming as you wait for each coat of paint to dry before applying the next coat (and then possibly applying a sealant if you want). Not to mention that paints are messier and harder to clean up than just rubbing alcohol. Paints would also be more costly unless you already have the matching colours and brushes.

But it's up to you. The clear chest window is impossible to paint over though (AFAIK).
