Painting my GBA SP

Post by blackmagepwns »

I've got a few ideas going around for a pattern to paint on my SP, though I'm fairly new to painting systems and would rather not end up like a certain Budsmoka(ering) jackass on the forum. Any tips on what paint to buy/and or patterns I could possible go for? I was thinking like a super famicom controller, but not too sure, I could just got for the SNES look with purple buttons, oh the choices.

Make a Stencil and draw the pattern onto a large or wide piece of masking or painters tape then put your cut out on the GBA and spray paint around it with high quality plastic spray paint like Krylon Fusion or another comparable brand followed by a spray paint sealant of some sort to prevent the paint from coming off on your hands as you sweat from playing or over time from normal use.

Your local hardware store, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Target or anywhere else that sells spray paint.
