So, I'm about to paint my gamepark. I got the Krylon Fusion because I heard it worked good, and I'm excited, only nobody is going to like it because I choose light purple, because the Patriotic Blue looked too dark when I..."tested"...it on the shelf at the store. So purple it is, but I have to get a small screw driver. I'll be done in a few hours, so expect pictures.

Wish me luck folks.
 
Make sure to do light coats. I bought the wrong type of paint for my saturn and fooked it up beyond saving. Its going to look shit when its done.
 
and whatever you don't put in your conservatory while your neighbour cuts his grass :D

other than that keep an equal distance keep the can moving and you shoudl be fine :p

Alright, I'm all done. Thanks for the support guys. I made a big mistake, I bought a can of paint that had the spray control taken off, and put SO MUCH PURPLE PAINT on the gamepark that I had to sand it down for about an hour, then I had to go to work, then I had to give it another coat, then I had to bring it inside my room to dry because it was too cold and wet out....it was hell. However it's done.

There is some texturing because of the big mistake I made, however I think it looks good. The pictures don't do justice. I have to say I wish I had been able to take out the LED because it just would not give, and I had to scrape the paint off of that too. *sigh* That and I lost some screws, so I hope the ones I put in don't have any negative consequences.

All and all my gamepark has given me so much hell since the day I bought it, but I love my gamyparky and I'm very proud of my job. If anybody wants I'll get some high quality pictures later. There is one more thing I want to do, but I'm nervous to try. I want to take a small needle and scrape out the START and SELECT letters on the front and stencil in some color. But that's just a little extra. I also wonder if I should add a decal to the front, but I can't think of anything small and good for it that won't make me look like a fan boy lol.

So the front is Hacidenda purple, the screen (which I need a new one too because of the blue streaks =\ ) the screen trim is white, the buttons I left alone, and I put a light light white coat around the edge trim to give it a standout grey look.

It may be girly, but it's pretty!

I'm having trouble now getting the picture links to show because it's yahoo, so here's a link to my page. Enjoy!
