Wash the surface thoroughly with a detergent to remove any dirt and oils that might be there (even a new console fresh from the factory would have oils on the surface), then let it dry thoroughly.

Once dry, I definitely recommend using a primer on it, unless you're using a paint like Krylon Fusion that bonds to the plastic. Spray a light coat of primer (so light it doesn't cover completely), then about five minutes later, spray on another light coat. If even the second coat doesn't cover completely it's not a big deal. Let that dry, then apply another coat. Remember that two or three thin coats will look a lot better than a thick coat, and hold the can a good distance away from the console. Doing these two things will help prevent runs and drips.

Use good quality paints, and read the instructions on the can. Different paints behave a little bit differently, so the tips on the side of the can will help you. I like Krylon paints, and I like Rustoleum's Painter's Touch paints a lot more than the regular Rustoleum paints. ]]>

I'm thinking I might take a stab at a custom paint job on one of my SNES machines, and I'm just wondering where to get some information or a walkthrough on how to do so. I'm more or less looking for what types of paint work best and if there are any precautions to take before I make a mess! ]]>
