Hoping to spray paint my N64

[Austin]

Hello everyone, im fairly new to AcidMods. I wanted to ask a question about how to go about SprayPainting my Nintendo 64. Its a original black N64 and im hoping to spraypaint it sometime soo

I have a 45 mm drill bit and my N64 is opened. Should i just take the hardware out and bring the two pieces of the N64 (top and bottom) somewhere to be painted?

________
Lastly i want to paint my N64 a pure smooth white. Im not going to be doing anything fancy, i just want to spray paint it a nice white. What paint does everyone suggest i use? Should i just use primer? How many coats do i need to put on? And do i need to do anything else to prep my N64.

New to the whole spray painting thing.

Thanks in advance

use 2 coat of primer 4 coats of paint and 3 coats of cleargloss and u will get an awesome finish,and remember dude i mean light coats,if the 1st coats of paint doesnt completely drown out the colour of the primer then dont worry the next one will,so dont go painting loads on at once,4 light coats gives a way better finish than 2 heavy coats always remember that

Remember when spray painting to start spraying off the plastic and sweep over it to the complete other side, going off their as well.  This will prevent any uneven buildup.  If you feel comfortable taking out all the hardware then by all means go right ahead and paint the case without fear!

Dont paint with any hardware inside, you want just the plastic you are going to spray.

1. Wash with Soapy Warm Water
2. Air Dry
3. Spray 2 coats of Primer, holding the can about 8cm away, and extending over every edge, giving 10 mins between coats.
4. Wait for 45 Mins
5. Apply 4 Coats of colour, same as primer, giving 15 mins between coats
6. Leave to dry for 2 days
7. Spray 3 coats of clear, same as Primer and color, giving 20 mins between coats

Obviously, Spraying is one of the best things for me!
