I did this before using a custom L&F, but if you already use a JTextField
subclass (I do), then it would be easy to add the following method to your
JTextField subclass.  I got this idea from "Kleopatra
<fastegal@zedat.fu-berlin.de>", but I have not tried it yet.

    public void setEnabled(boolean enabled)
    {
       if (enabled == isEnabled()) return;
       super.setEnabled(enabled);
       if (enabled)
          setBackground(UIManager.getColor("TextField.background"));
       else
          setBackground(UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.disabledBackground"));
    }
