Spray-paint it red...

There may be hope for it. Brake fluid is an effective paint stripper, and much milder on plastics than a proper fit-for-purpose paint stripper gel. The keyboard would need to be disassembled and the logo covered up first of course, but it would be worth a try.

You know, it would be one thing if they'd actually done a good job spray-painting it...

Ew.

Hell, depending on how the price looks nearer the end, I may throw in a bid on it. I don't know how much success can be had in cleaning it up, but I'd at least be safe in knowing that I couldn't make it look any worse.

It may have been used in a school setting. I see that often.

It's fixable. Excellent price too.

EZ Off oven cleaner tends to remove paint without damaging plastic too. I'd try the bottom of it first though...
