Coloring the cut white edges alone makes a big improvement in the appearance. You don't have to be a skilled painter, and you don't even have to match the color very close. A lot of craft stores sell the set of 100 markers from Fibracolor, water based, plenty good. Tombow solvent based markers are good, one guy uses his wife's "scrapbooking markers," really any felt tip marker, sharpie, etc. Watercolors would be good, and I've even used dry color pencils, but I don't recommend it. The spray-on clear coats are good for permanence, protection, appearance, and if you do it right after printing it helps to keep you from screwing up your part sheets as you build.
